Navy Secretary Garret resigns over Tailhook scandal
Our view says Garret's resignation signals zero tolerance for misconduct in the Navy. He accepts responsibility for mishandling the Tailhook probe amid scrutiny of prior aviation gatherings where 26 women, including naval officers, reported unwanted advances and threats of gang rape. The move aims to push a field wide reckoning, promising equal opportunity and respect for women in the service.
