We need to make an impact and show up at there doors, we need to flud there violent political pipelines with the information of truth, and the fact that people are standing up to it. We need to gather support along with information. There is at least 10 military people in this forum alone. We need to stand together, and make these stories known to the public. We need to make the johnson commision, to stop this from ever happening again. Please if any ideas come up on how to start something like we feel free to email me and post about it. The fact that we have to be scared of the ARMY makes ya think if they can be infiltrated by horrible people, what else can. We need to make a commission group of some sort.

Today, as I hear about similar stories, I'm reminded of LaVena and my heart cries again. I too have a young daughter who I've groomed and watch grow up to be beautiful and bright person, so I have the deepest sympathy for you. I hope to never have to attend the funeral of any of my children but instead, for them to attend mine. As a veteran of the Army and Marine Corp. I was acquanted with fellow military with personalities that ranged from the highest of ethics to the disfunctional, self serving, amoral. Not only do innocent noncombatants in the war zone become victims, but also the women who serve, who have to watch their backs as well as their fronts. Anytime you have a environment where there's a high male over female ratio, women must be vigilante ,demand respect and demand that leadership support concerns of harassment. If any woman reading this is considering joining the military or has family contemplating that move, let them know that it is a microcosm of this world we live in and they need to be around people who genuinely support them and are willing to stand up truth to power.

It is not okay for anyone to commit crime against someone and get away with it. Clearly someone murdered this woman. Someone close to her, very close, that the government seems to be protecting. It is an ugly double standard that the government can protect murderers just because they murder the people that supposedly bring the country harm. But it seems as though it is the government that is bringing about the most harm when it allows innocent people to be murdered; protecting the guilty while attempting to silence the innocent.

Though it's been 7 years, I'm sure the pain will be forever present, especially with the callousness of the Army's action, or lack thereof. Your daughter's story reminds me of a similar cover up or lack of investigation done by the Air Force in the murder of a female airman on Sheppard Air Force Base. It's all just so terribly disheartening. I am deeply saddened for your loss.

I can,t say that time will heal all wounds; That would be a lie especially when you lose a child in such a manner. I,m not a professional but looking at the video (excuse my french) but there is no way in hell she done that to herself. I'm a spouse of and ex army personnel and i no for a fact that they do cover up things so that civilians will never find the truth. B My heart goes out to you!

What happened to your daughter is inexcusable and unforgivable. This type of inhumane treatment should be reserved for only the most violent criminals. Your daughter was a brave human being as any soldier who deployed is. I know that as an enlisted sailor there is nothing I can do, but I hope you will see justice and the animals responsible put down. My deepest sympathies.
