...just as often forced to acknowledge a breakdown in the chain of command. Last week a sixth soldier at Maryland's Aberdeen training ground was brought up on charges of sexually harassing a trainee, while the Citadel, a military-training school, is in the midst of its own hazing scandal involving female cadets.
