We've seen plenty of individual stories showing just how perilous the road to justice can be for military whistleblowers. But what about the overall picture? POGO Director of Investigations Nick Schwellenbach explores that very question in a new piece—his second in a series on military whistleblowers. Check it out here.

From Nick Schwellenbach's article:
"But there are some reasons why that goal may be hard to achieve even with the improvements being implemented now. A spokesman told POGO that the DoD OIG has not conducted a trend analysis to determine why military complainants alleging retaliation usually do not have their complaints substantiated. In other words, the Pentagon’s top watchdog office—the entity most directly responsible for implementing the law that protects military whistleblowers—has not analyzed why most complaints are dismissed."
How about asking the same of MSPB and OSC for civil service whistleblowers?
