With the discipline problem, that is currently plaguing Fort Hood, I fear the worst case! Today's Army needs an enema, to get the crap that shouldn't have ever been allowed in the Army out!

It has been confirmed that he was the victim of violent sexual assault. He had been transferred from one 1st Cavalry unit to another. He was an NBC specialist. Information disclosed that his vehicle was parked on base with his personal belongings still in it. Further information disclosed that his platoon Sergeant drove him home to his new home in Killeen where he had just signed a lease. Why then was his POV with his belongings on post? Did his platoon sergeant in fact driving home? Who saw him jogging after the platoon Sergeant allegedly dropped him off? Of course this information is not available to us at this point. But these are the questions I'd be asking is a trained investigator.

Don't ask, don't tell but was he homosexual? Is that the type of attacks were talking about he was a diminutive man I've only 5 foot 4 in tall and 133 pounds. Frankly, the size of a child. Did this have anything to do with the sexual assault(s) did he reported? He had the option of reporting it to his unit commander at which time a report is required to be made to the MCIO which is part of CID. If he reported through his chain of command he could still have maintained restricted or anonymous for his protection. Kind of hard to remain anonymous with something like this. People knew.

None the less, Medical Care, SARC or VA assistance would have been available to him through the SHARP program.

It seems to me that if he had been violently sexually assaulted he would have been transferred to another post rather than to another unit in the same division. Something doesn't make sense in this regard. I know that as a military policeman if I had been involved in a lethal use-of-force incident I would have been moved to a new post for my own safety. I would think no less would happen for him.

As of August 2020 Fort Hood Texas has been identified as having the highest crime rate. Murder, sexual harassment rates at Fort Hood are among highest in the service. Because I wanted to be a civilian police officer, that's where I asked to be stationed and in fact was. Things have changed since I left and apparently considerably for the worst.

I can say that if he was being seen as an inpatient for mental health care following his assault that they wouldnhave driven him straight to the hospital, he would not be allowed to drive himself, he’d then need a member of his CoC to come and pick him up, generally his 1SG would need to approve of his leaving inpatient and his PLT SGT would then pick him up. That part makes sense to me, as someone who’s had first hand experience with CRDAMC’s inpatient medical services.
