The nationwide conversation about race in America has put a renewed spotlight on racial disparities in the U.S. military justice system, with lawmakers calling for the services to uncover the causes behind the disparities and work to address the problem.
Another report, conducted by the advocacy group Protect Our Defenders in 2017, found that for every year reported and across all branches, black service members were"substantially" more likely than white service members to face military justice or disciplinary action. Christensen told lawmakers on Tuesday that after Protect Our Defenders' report was published, none of the services reached out to the organization to discuss the findings -- a claim largely confirmed by the service judge advocate generals who testified before Congress later in the day.
Chairwoman Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., said that while the services are"relying" on Section 540I"to recognize there is work to be done, it would have been a whole lot better" if the changes had come from within the department.
