I retired in 1989, and I am thoroughly ashamed of Defence Force members who abused fellow male and female colleagues.

Why did you people in power not do anything? You were well aware of this abuse for years, despite a very public personal denial by the current chief of staff, who has spent 40 years in the Defence Forces.
