The GAMe: Unraveling a Military Sex Scandal
Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, 1996: The U.S. Army’s most extensively reported sexual abuse scandal on record is uncovered by Major General Robert Shadley.
Known as GAM, or “Game ala Military,” an entire network of senior male instructors is in competition to sexually assault and exploit the young female trainees in their charge. Immersed in a battle unlike anything he’d been trained to fight, Shadley must unravel the game, bring the players to justice, and get help for a record number of victims.
Now retired, Major General Shadley continues to advocate for the estimated 19,000 military service members who are sexually assaulted each year. In this gripping story, he sheds light on a problem that’s still sadly far from being solved, and provides lessons in real leadership through crisis.

When I read this book I was disheartened that this has been allowed to take place in our military. I commend Gen Shadley for taking a stand to address the problem and took steps of prevention. Sadly senior officers chose to ignore this matter and allowed those in positions of authority to abuse their power.
Everyone that participates in this GAMe deserves the punishment they get up to and including Dishonorable Discharge. At the very least these men deserve to loose all benefits afforded to the men and women that served with honor.
