Reaction from veteran and GOP congressional candidate Kathy Barnette.
The disappearance of Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old soldier at the sprawling Texas Army base of Fort Hood last April, captured headlines across the world.
After 10 torturous weeks and growing fears that another soldier who had sexually harassed her was involved, Guillén s dismembered, burned body parts were unearthed from a box by a river. That fellow soldier, her suspected killer, died by suicide as police inched closer to him.
But critics of the military installation vow there is much more to it. Last year, more than 30 soldiers associated with Fort Hood died – 11 were deemed suicides and five homicides.
