The commander and the senior enlisted adviser of a US Navy Seal team deployed to Africa have been relieved of their duties and sent home due to sexual misconduct allegations regarding multiple fellow US military female service members. Many of the Navy Seals in East Africa conduct operations in Somalia, where they advise Somali forces battling al-Shabaab, the local affiliate of al Qaeda. The two Navy seals that were sent home are being investigated by the Navy's Criminal Investigative Service. The allegations come in as special ops forces on the continent "have come under increasing scrutiny."
Sexual misconduct allegations towards women has been occurring a lot in the past year, and has caused many problems in our country. This horrible problem has been mostly focused in on the entertainment industry and is rarely revealed to have happened in the military. The Navy Seals have a very strong reputation and having sexual misconduct allegations regarding multiple of the commanders and advisers of the US Navy Seals makes our country look very bad. This could eventually cause women to remove themselves from the military and provoke another movement regarding this topic.
