U.S. MILITARY - Fort Hood Murder

"Report finds a ‘failure of leadership’ after Fort Hood murderPBS NewsHour 12/09/2020

COMMENT:  I served 22yrs in our Navy (now retired) and served on a Court Martial board (enlisted as a CPO) so I have some direct experience.  Also I was assigned to a command that had both our Commanding Officer and Executive Officer removed.  If nothing else the carriers of the officers involved are ended.

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  A new independent report details widespread systemic problems at Fort Hood, Texas, including a culture that allows sexual assault in its ranks.  It was ordered after the murder of U.S. Army Specialist Vanessa Guillén, and led to the removal or suspensions of 14 senior officers.  Nick Schifrin spoke with retired Col. Ellen Haring, a research fellow at the Service Women's Action Network, to discuss.
