Hmmm... Am I indignant, or Wistful for my Youth?

Fort Leonard Wood - Twelve years after a sex scandal prompted congressional investigations and changes in Army training, Fort Leonard Wood is again dealing with a wave of cases in which drill sergeants have engaged in sexual misconduct with women trainees.

Since February 2007, at least 14 drill sergeants or other trainers have faced courts-martial for having improper relationships with Soldiers undergoing initial-entry training at the sprawling Army post about 130 miles southwest of St. Louis.

The cases include:

-- A highly decorated six-year veteran who had been named noncommissioned officer of the year for the Chemical Corps. He was accused of having sex with four trainees, including in the unit supply room and laundry room, his truck, a hospital room, a hotel room and his home.

-- A drill sergeant with 16 years of service accused of having sex with five of his Soldiers on and off post, including once in a vehicle while another recruit drove, and three times at a fellow drill sergeant's apartment.

-- A drill sergeant accused of helping three female recruits go AWOL and having sex with one. He also was accused of inappropriately touching or kissing seven other women in his training company.
