Senator GRAHAM. Yes. Actually it makes sense to me, quite frankly, that we are trying to--you know, you are not going to use an unfounded accusation to prove somebody guilty in a court martial. But if, you know, we have a sexual predator problem, you are
dead right about that. In my time in the military, they actually talked to each other. There is a network of people out there who, you know, child abusers. And there are people out there who talk about where you go and, you know, what is the best bar to go to.
Believe it or not, it is true.

And so, let us see if we can work on this. I like the idea of capturing for the system sake, not to be used, you know, against somebody being accused of something cannot be the end of your career. But it sure needs to be captured somehow.
