i'm a master student here at georgetown. i want to speak about positions for women affect sexual assault in the military. are there challenges or opportunities for us to work together? secretary carter: a very insightful question. i think it cuts both ways. obviously as we get the women into more unaccustomed positions, may be dangerous-based related positions, decisions where there are fewer in the relation to the number of men. it opens up opportunities for predators. they do not have an ordinary life. on one hand, it could lead in that direction. on the other hand, i think it signifies to everyone getting used to working men and women together to defend the country. i cannot help but believe for many people, they will learn better how to conduct themselves , interact across gender lines, and so forth. that will contribute to prevention. eventually, eradication of sexual assault. obviously we want to head in this direction. in addition, we get the benefit of more talented people eligible to serve in certain military roles.
