Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has talked tough since launching a full-scale inquiry into harassment in the Armed Forces last week.
The Tory minister has impressed in his immediate response to the news six soldiers were arrested by military police over allegations of a sexual assault on a 17-year-old female soldier.
The facts of that case are still to be determined but the process has opened a window on a long-running issue about whether there is a culture of cover-up and intimidation in the military.
It is important behaviour that would not be tolerated anywhere else is not allowed to go unchecked in the Army.
One Scottish couple with a particular interest in the developments are Susan and Charles Fletcher.

Their son Robert, 24, from East Kilbride, died at RAF Benson, Oxfordshire, in 2011 and they believe he may have been killed in an initiation ceremony gone wrong.
They have now penned an emotional letter to Williamson outlining their fears about the endemic scale of bullying in the Armed Forces.
As far as the military are concerned, Robert’s case is closed after an inquest in 2012 ruled he took his own life.
But Susan and Charles are left with lingering questions and devastating doubts about what their son suffered.
The response to the heartbreaking letter is a key test for how serious the UK Government is about getting to grips with this issue.
Lives put at risk
Political row erupts over double increase in private hospital patient figures across NHS Lanarkshire
The breast cancer scandal at NHS Tayside has badly undermined faith in the health service.
The board decided to reduce chemotherapy doses to 304 patients, 14 of whom later died, from December 2016 to reduce side effects.
An expert report has concluded this meant there was an increased risk of recurrence for one patient per year as a result. That is one per year too many.
And despite the fact the move brought Tayside out of line with the rest of Scotland, the report also found it was done without “challenge or consultation”.
It’s vital every possible lesson is learnt from the shambles.

Italian football club Roma have banned their squad from taking selfies with rapper Drake amid fears players pictured with him are cursed.
Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Paris Saint-Germain’s Layvin Kurzawa all lost big games after posing with the Canadian superstar.
Let’s hope Drake stays well clear of Scotland’s international team.
Their luck is bad enough as it is.
