right now, the women that are in the infantry have met the standard of the united states infantry and it's going ok. the numbers are very small. frankly, i expect they will be small for many years if not forever. the canadian army has had women in the infantry for 30 plus years. they have a very tiny percentage of women. but it doesn't matter how many want to do it, i don't think they should be denied, my personal opinion is no one should be denied if you meet the standard, drive on. if you don't, try something else. >> could you say a few words, sir, about continuing efforts to reduce sexual harassment in the army and how is that going? gen. milley: it's a challenge. it's hard. the numbers have come down which is good. numbers -- reporting numbers have gone up. reporting in the sense of the way the system is designed to indicate that women have -- and it's not just women, by the way, there are guys that get sexually assaulted as well, but victims have greater confidence today than, say, they did four or five years ago in chain of command and the victims advocates and the results that
