Sexual Abuse in the Military "2 Democrats Split on Tactics to Fight Military Sex Assaults" (front page, Nov. 2) frames the military justice reform debate as a choice to side either with military leadership or survivors of sexual assault. As leaders of national veterans service organizations, we represent service members and veterans across generations. And we support Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand's Military Justice Improvement Act. In doing so, we are not choosing survivors over our military; survivors are part of our military. Increasing service members" access to justice will not threaten military readiness. Instead, it will increase recruitment and retention and build confidence that our military reflects the ideals it is charged with upholding. This is not a fight to be won by military leadership or survivors, or one senator over another. It is a fight to strengthen military justice for our men and women in uniform. Let's not forget that. The writers are, respectively, executive director of the Service Women's Action Network and national president of Vietnam Veterans of America.
