Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that:

members of the U.S. Armed Forces should not be punished for standing up to child rapists,
putting the interests of Afghan rapists ahead of American war heroes is a national disgrace,
the Americans who should be punished are those who created the policy that encourages members of the Armed Forces to ignore child rape, and
the Department of Defense should order Sergeant First Class Charles Martland's reinstatement in the Army.
