u.s. marine corps went under audit this year for the first time. some of them have a year of experience. the army, navy and air force are splitting their audits into two parts. they have a section funded by appropriations and another from a working capital fund. they each have different accounting systems. while the same auditor does both, they've split it into two parts because the way they function is different. that split occurs in the army, navy and air force. they'll all be rolled together by the i.g. to give an opinion on the department as a whole. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i yield back. >> mr. norquist, you referenced this earlier, but i want to ask again. in these efforts, do you have the support of the secretary of defense and the deputy secretary? what you've talked about is cultural change, it is prioritizing dollars. it involves a number of things that if they're not supported by the top leadership, they're not going to happen. >> absolutely. the tone from the top is excellent. >> the first conversation i had with the secretary after he was nominated to be secretary, he bro

u.s. marine corps "leave no men behind" does not apply to the men and women who are raped.nstead, they are frequently and intentionally left behind to deal with the continued stress and anguish. while the rapist's career continues without consequence. the navy continues to defend the ever-grown claims of military assaults within the academy as small and those women who reported being raped were mentally ill. how shameful. military leaders then and now defend the growth rate as being good saying they are glad to hear that women are coming forward to report rape. what they do not seem to get is that more rape is bad and they continue because of the failure to address the root cause. there's a small but active group of rapists whose crimes are rarely investigated, let alone prosecuted. and the military finds it easier to destroy the lives of the victims. the word is out -- if you are rapist, go into the military where you will be protected after you rape somebody. i was prime -- processed out of the academy, and the rapists are still there. victims who see the treatment of tho
