A House Democrat has asked the U.S. military’s top enlisted leaders what they were doing about sexual assault in the military, after an annual report showed that the problem is getting worse. She made clear that she was not pleased with their answer.

“No disrespect, but that’s an unsatisfying answer,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) told Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy James Honea at an oversight hearing of the House subcommittee on military construction and veterans affairs.
