First Sgt. Katrina Moerk, now the first sergeant of Charlie Company, 741st Military Intelligence Battalion, was browsing a social media network's community page earlier this year, when she came upon a video that she found offensive and sexist. When she commented as much, several respondents attacked her with insults. Some of these respondents were wearing uniforms in their profile photos, the first sergeant said, so she wrote to them directly.
"I looked them up, introduced myself and explained to them why they were stupid. And I [copied] the director of the Army SHARP program to help their units improve their SHARP training, because it was obviously lacking. And it's kind of blown up from there," Moerk said.
SHARP is the acronym for the military's Sexual Harassment Assault Response and Prevention program.
Online Backlash
This wasn't the first time Moerk had experienced online harassment, she said, but it was "the first time I've put my foot down, and was very adamant about correcting what was wrong with them."
For her willingness to stand up and defend Army values, Moerk received an Army Commendation Medal from Lt. Gen. James C. McConville, who succeeded Bromberg as the Army's personnel chief, during a ceremony Monday, at the Pentagon.

God help us.
So who made her in charge of what is offensive and sexist?
Good grief. Grow some balls. Oh, wait…..
There are inappropriate comments online, but it is not the Army’s job to stop that outside the workplace. On the flip side, it’s a good lesson for those soldiers - not the “SHARP” diversity training horse manure, but the lesson not to post anything online under your real name if you are anywhere that the liberal thugs can get to you.
I’m betting she’s a dyke.
I'll bet that is some motivating training.
I'll bet that is some motivating training.
So she got online to make soldiers get their mind right in their personal opinions off duty, but the article never tells what opinions that she assigned for them, versus the ones of their own.
“”Dr. Christine Altendorf, the SHARP director, brought Moerk’s email to the attention of Lt. Gen. Howard Bromberg, then the Army’s deputy chief of staff for personnel. Shortly thereafter, the Army launched three administrative investigations, because Soldiers from three separate major commands were involved, either through producing the video or making inappropriate comments.
“Everyone was kind of pulled to the carpet and called in, and training changed,” the first sergeant said.
For her willingness to stand up and defend Army values, Moerk received an Army Commendation Medal from Lt. Gen. James C. McConville””
In unrelated News.
Political Officers Make A Comeback
**”December 24, 2014: China has ordered political officers to fly missions on AWACS and other large aircraft with large (over half a dozen people) crews. These aircraft carry out crucial missions in modern warfare and China is using more and more of them. The Chinese Communist Party wants the crews on these aircraft monitored in action to assure their performance and loyalty.
The Chinese long ago borrowed the concept of the political officer from the Soviet Union. The political officer represents the Communist Party and has the authority to overrule any order a military officer gives. In reality, the political officer usually acts as a combined morale and special events officer. The political officers are primarily responsible for preventing anything happening in their unit that would embarrass the party.”**
Some idea of the offensive content, and what made it offensive, would be in order. We are asked to accept the fact of the offense, without any information.
No first amendment rights for you.
To give folks here not in-the-know a frame of reference, most of my Infantry Soldiers received an ARCOM for a 15-month combat tour in Iraq during the height of the insanity over there.
Look who WE gots..!!!
RANGER ALL THE WAY, MAN..!!!! WHO-AHH..!!!!
Like the female officer who brought down Boss McWherter.
I would agree with the comments thus far if the actions were by a private female citizen against another private citizen, male or female.
However, this is Army business relating to both a senior NCO and subordinates. There is NO ‘off-work’ room for such BS by soldiers of any branch.
Comments thus far are egregiously misplaced.
There are severe problems with our military leadership and priorities; I don’t believe this article writes of anything remotely of concern
I can honestly say that when I was in, that I would not have used a photo of me in uniform, and I would have told the Commander of whatever rank, that I heard his opinion, but would continue speaking as I pleased, as long as it was legal.
This affirmative action trollop should receive a reprimand for goofing off on the computer.
what... no "V" Device???
the Nazi’s did that, too.
According to this interesting post “she was offended by a clip produced by some Soldiers that depicted a new troop in the barracks being shown around by two Soldiers, who stop in front of what is ostensibly a female’s room and refer to her as ‘Suzie Rottencrotch’ – the barracks ho.”
