To encourage soldiers? We have encouraged many of the soldiers to come forward, based on our experience with the ombudsman's office, and I think more of them are. We hear the complaints, and they want us to act as advocates for them. We don't have the means to do that, other than in situations like this. The ombudsman's office is not mandated to listen to anybody other than the soldiers.
