Army Orders Review Of Climate At Fort Hood After Death Of Vanessa Guillen | NBC Nightly News
I’m sure you guys will publish your story on Jessica Doty Whitaker any minute now, right?
They should change the name of fort hood to Fort Guillen or Fort Vanessa Guillen to honor this strong woman who fought for our country only to be dehumanized by sick twisted people.
And bring bad ill to her lovely name? Burn it down.
@Jonthan Hawkins Defend the military and welcome in the Communist or Socialist, we should find a Hitler, Stalin, Hussein or even Bin Laden type of individual to lead us into a brave new world! RIGHT!!!!
Two wrongs will never create a Good!
Are maybe we should just fire off every I.C.B.M. and drop every Nuke we have and burn it all down!!!
Spc-Lee A Benson 11B U.S. Army
no
No her name shouldn’t. Fort Hood is a disgrace. Command is protecting harden criminals trained by military itself. PFC LaVena Johnson’s case needs to be reopened for further investigation as well.

Can’t they replace her. I mean they are running across the border everyday there sure isn’t a shortage of Mexicans. Just grab the next one running across the border change her name give her a uniform and wall la you have a replacement.
Lol you’re a comedian

Do Not ignore the dead for if today there is 200K then the next day there will be more then 3million. We can not forget that in January 2020 there were 0. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. …✝️-Amen
Who is, “Jessica Doty Whitaker” and why isn’t NBC news reporting on her?
Because in this case, IT DOES NOT MATTER.
it shouldn’t only be just for her, it should be for all the soldiers that were killed there and dissapeared. I’m Mexican American.
Plenty of Mexican Americans that were killed there. So much for serving our country
@Alfonso Urzua yea I agree, it’s def not good for recruitment numbers. The military is already having trouble with low enlistments.
Definitely .
We are for all SOLDIERS who DISAPPEAR, suicide, or were KILLING at MILITARY BASE FORT HOOD. Vanessa , Gregory , BRANDON SCOTT , krysta Martinez, Lavena Johnson, Enrique Roman.
exactly all of them went unnoticed, what about their voices their stories, like they say no soldier left behind so pump up the volume for all of them missing before her
I’m loading my gun n go out n peaceful protest for her honor
So sad. So sad. Praying for her family’s broken hearts🙏🏾❤️
They need to admit that they covered up what happened!!!
@Army account hunny, if your really in the army, wouldn’t you know what happened? Watch the video and the news.
R. Sanchez I did it’s just that he said they covered up what happened and all I’m apparently seeing in the news is the cover up story so I want to know the real story since the original poster apparently knows
R. Sanchez all I see is a black guy killed a Puerto Rican girl and the white girlfriend admitted to helping dismember and hide the body. The black guy killed himself right before going to prison for life. Did I get that wrong?
@Army account sorry about the misunderstanding, but it just didn’t make sense when you asked what happened?
R. Sanchez no worries
Justice for Guillen!!!!
May this beautiful strong young lady rest in peace❤️😢
Only Black Lives Matter. No point of showing this. /S
Martin, no seas asi que tu bien sabes que eso no es cierto. We need to do better, be better and live by example. This will never end if we continue to pick on one another.
@facesINpinK The murder of George Floyd sparked protests and riots Nationwide. People of all different background came together against racism towards blacks. Vanessa doesn’t fit that same narrative so although she’s also a minority this will swept under the rug by the media. This lady gave up her life for this country, a true hero. George Floyd was a loser drug addict and the media painted him as a hero.
😠oNly😫bLAck🤨LiVes👽mAtteR🤪.nO🤡pOinT✨oF😠ShoWinG😒tHis😛.(s😂
my heart breaks for this family. hopefully god has made her death have reason to her and gave her realization in knowing her death became bigger than she could of ever known. rip vanessa, while i never knew you, or your family or friends, the atrocities afflicted on you touched people that never knew you and in that aspect, while tragic, i’m glad to have known you because it’s apparent, you were always someone amazing.
And I say this as a military member.it sounds do you mean like she got her answers already so why is she screaming she still wants answers. Is she screaming she wants justice but the man who did this shot himself fortunately there is no justice to be had he took that too and I’m so so sorry for your family. Unfortunately the sad matter is you hold military to a higher regard but yet they’re people from all across America from all backgrounds all states all kinds of families and all kinds of problems you stick them all together all kinds of things.
@Avon 👈🇷🇺😛🔻 You mean as a member of the Russian military don’t you Vlad. Fake Profile, No Content & Textbook Kremlin Diversionary Rhetoric = Russian Backed Troll. Can the Fake Outrage Vlad because no one’s buying your Bullshtski here comrade.
@It Was A Good Idea At The Time you don’t know anything
Do you know the exact details of her case of Vanessa Guillen? They fed the family bs they tried covering up for two months and guess what they finally started to care when the media got ahold of the story and everyone started to care. thats when they went out looking for her 2 months after her disappearance. Whatever happened to no soldier left behind. In my mind they took that time to devise a sort of credible story that the family would by. In honest gut feeling i feel like they are harboring a murder on that base. Why was Gregory Morales remains found relatively close to those of Vanessa guillen. Something doesnt add up.
@chino talk about what I know if you were in the military you would understand that the military isn’t going to give anybody answers until they do at their investigation once or is is done with their investigation because Vanessa and her killer we’re both properties of the US government as far as the military is concerned they’re not going to comment to anyone until they know the full truth
Praying for the entire family 💔🙏🏾
Viya con Dios! 💙🙏
Another BLM guy! You know what I mean. Those people!
@Chosen One you are such a little are you in hate to use the word. But you are such a little man you should be blaming the right person and Country China China what’s wrong with you. You talk stupid where you blame Trump you sound like that you love China you probably have a lot of stock in China just like Biden does and Hillary probably got a lot of stock in China selling out our country to the highest bidder. You should be blessed that you have a great commander and chief like Donald Trump in office. And did you like my video??
@Chosen One first I like to ask you did you see my video on YouTube. And I don’t understand your comment about daddy but I can’t understand why do you blame Donald Trump for 4?? You should be a man of set of a little girl or little boy or a little baby blame it on him you should be trying to get China to pay the bill at least 3 trillion dollars for their actions for all the lies that they tore and cover it up and they still coming it up because you should be a real man and have a physician sign and try to stop germs and chemical warfare treating plants in China and in America. We should ban dad just like we ban nuclear weapons treaty. But what you doing is you’re blaming the wrong person you’re blaming Donald Trump we we should be put her focusing and Unity on where it came from that’s how you I have a cure for it or an adult because I have a great feeling that it came from a lab a chemical lab and they have a an adult for it we got to put the pressure on them from the you and just like we did back at war with you to Nazi Germany. Or if it came from a What markets we should ban that entire 2
@Chosen One hey little girl how you doing. Why don’t you be a a real man and stop blaming Donald Trump for your issues you have in life. You are a lot like the governor of New York City blaming everybody but himself. You’re a lot CNN News blaming everybody else but for their own actions that’s how that make all their money. It wasn’t for Donald Trump you want to have a country right now periods you should be thankful and get down on your hands and knees and and be thankful to God that we have a leader like him in office…
@Chosen One I also got another video I like you to watch if you think you can handle it. Is Trey Smith video on YouTube God is a nutshell. And he also got a good video about the choice. Where have you been?
Where is the National 24/7 media covering this case and the BLM people protesting about this? I only see the Hispanics pushing the case. Pathetic
Prayers too the family in their time of LOSS. Traggic DEATH and murder is hard too move forward from. Unless you experience death this way.you don’t understand the numbness family members go through when things like this happen. I hope Vanessa’s family is given real justice and proper mental help. The days ahead are as hard as the acceptance of DEATH.
SHUTDOWN THE BASE

My condolences for her families and the Military
Truly there have to be justice for her death
Robinson was not Guillen’s supervisor nor in her chain of command.
Creepy year in the USA. I worry about you. I sympathize with you.
RIP and I’m so sorry
Don’t brush over the fact that they found another soldier’s body when searching for Vanessa. His name was Gregory Morales and he was NOT a deserter as claimed by the Army.
Apparently this was never covered by the media until his SKELETAL REMAINS were found… what a f@$:@ disgrace this base is and the media too
He had earned 7 medals. Just doesn’t make sense he would desert when he would have been discharged in a few days. The command should have immediately thought of foul play! Whoever labeled him as a deserter need a reprimand at least. May justice be done!
WOW
Seriously ?
I had not heard.
Googled, and here is a link.
https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2020/07/08/family-hopes-autopsy-will-help-strike-dead-fort-hood-soldiers-name-from-deserter-list/
Thanks for the heads up.
Stay safe and healthy from,
Montreal Canada.
There was another young soldier killed and his car set a flame in May.
No mention of anyone finding out who killed him.
They know the work environment at that base. Corrupt . How do you find another missing soldier while looking for another?SMH Too much mental soldiers there. Too many missing soldiers from there not found. Close that Base.
Oh fake news media hyping up the sheep again. More riots and LOOTING coming?
@Retro Red 👈🇷🇺😛🔻 Can the Fake Outrage Vlad because no one’s buying your Bullshtski here comrade. Fake Profile, No Content & Textbook Kremlin Diversionary Rhetoric = Russian Backed Troll.
Just a tragedy! I hope the family gets relief and justice will be served. She had such a beautiful, expressive face in that photo!
Too late
This is so sad. Seeing a member of the US army gone 😭😭😭
@Victoria Chan All that die in Freedom are HEROES of said FREEDOM!!!
Freedom was not free, keeping it is not Free and living in Freedom is not FREE. Life as a Human means we all will die. FACT!!!
Spc-Lee A Benson 11B U.S. Army
Sad because her life was taken by those in the “same uniform”. What makes it worse is that we will never know the truth inside the base. They will never release the “all and true” investigation. they will release a false report, then we will put all “behind’ us and look “forward” to fight for “freedom” in South china sea, or mideast..
Her sister was murdered by a crazy couple that didnt want their affair exposed, or she was in a odd love triangle with the entire situation and it got toxic, happens alot.
Their affair exposed to who? They’re both losers.
@Alfonso Urzua happens alot, married persons hooking up and dont want husband or wife or command to know. Or a person likes and been hooking up with someone and finds out that person is hooking up with others. Its common and causes more problems then needed. Also leds to assults and deaths alot. Same thing you see in civilian life, just that these soliders are trained on defense and know things others dont. Also alot of soldiers get that attitude they are indestructible and open their mouths too much to wrong crazy individuals.
was not in any romantic relationship on base she was planning to get married her mom spoke about it.
LatinLivesMatter
Those two did it that is mean the family is so sad.
Donald Trump standing against sexual harassment – ROTFLMAO! 🤣 Yah right like that will *EVER* happen. 🤣 TOO FUNNY!
To think the Electoral College believed this was best for the country. We were all better off with our original popular vote. 🤦
I don’t think it’s funny
There blaming trump for the murfer the left will try anything to win
I didn’t hear and see anything of what you said. I hope Trump does something drastic about this, he will have my support.
I am happy, it seems as if there aren’t any kind people there any more! There’s always violence there!
Anyone hearing a Lover’s deal?
Let me through out a loose Idea.
The guy on the base was a lover of the girl who was murdered. The woman that helped dispose the body was also a lover of the guy on base. Confrontation happened, She ended up murdered because of possible exposure about the guy doing something he shouldn’t of that would terminate his Army career and land him in Prison. When confronted, maybe knowing he was doomed eventually. Rather then face the inevitable, and possibly feeling guilt, he kills himself.
Mind you There is Zero to support this but, you can’t tell me it’s not possible either.
False Vanessa Guillen had a boyfriend who was not in the military. I highly doubt that was the scenario
@chino Mmmhmmm, military life is a lot different then civilian.
@OneBigBugga she was basically engaged to get married i followed this story since her disappearance on april 22. she was in a committed relationship.
Gregory morales who also mysteriously disappeared was found while trying to locate this young honorable soldier. THE MEDIA NEVER COVERED IT NOR DID IT SHED LIGHT ON GREGORY MORALES !!!! OUR MEDIA IS A POS !!!
Lord please watch over there family.
Awww Everytime I see the video of her Vanessa’s sis I cry. Thats horrible she didn’t deserve that. She’s with God right now.
He wanted latin flavor he got boring white bread. Thats why he killed her. Wanted exotic. She didn’t budge. U
Angel Avila bro his actual girlfriend is a Mexican too.. her last name is Hispanic what do you mean white
So sad 😞
Same trump that has been accused of sexual harassment? Ok then
Something need to B than about this girl Vanessa. There is more tothe story
Hello time for a wake up call do you seek answers that you are not getting. Here are some links on youtube to follow don’t be the last to see how things are for real. Many are awake have taken the red pill do not be left behind as the majority has been awake this is help. Want real news go to X22 report on youtube and binge-watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipYcvH9omBE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXAVUpVi0Lg WWG1WGA
Blood sacrifice
Excellent report, commander in chief Trump needs to close all bootcamps and put cameras in every corner of bases, no other world there anymore. Most military violators usually skinheads (chauvin, wilson, etc) end up patrolling our streets creating crimes such as Garner, Floyd, etc
Close all boot camps? So get rid of the ARMED FORCES? Yes I see how that would stop the human race from killing each other!!! Like we never killed each other before there was the U.S. Armed Forces!!! LOL Just more damaging and useless statements.

So sorry for your loss. Sending hugs 🤗 and kisses 😚 to you and your family
They should get a copy of everybody’s taxes.
my heart for everyone who was there! THANK YALL FOR YOUR SERVICE
Maybe have an adult title your vids

Carl DiFrancesco does your mental healthcare professional know you have access to the internet? And do they realize you are unsupervised?
She is not white American who cares..thats way of lifestyle white Americans think ..prayers goes to her family’s sorry for your lost..
It’s vile and disgusting what was done to her. Hilarious how the dumb broad that helped him is stuck by herself now that he’s killed himself. Was it worth it??
I had a soldier at Ft. Hood, and know roughly where they found the remains. I’ve talked with a couple people and so many things just don’t add up with this story. I am sure it is not confined to Ft. Hood but I have heard a few stories of women who were assaulted while there or deployed overseas. That is NEVER ok, ANYWHERE. The ‘account’ that I read doesn’t make sense to me. The report I saw said he killed her in the Armory room. How is that possible without blood spatter or other evidence being left behind. I understand the other solider who’s remains they found in and around the same area apparently wasn’t on base at the time, (which of course does not discount the loss of his life) but Vanessa was ON BASE. Why after someone noticed she was missing start looking into it. No sense, and yes the military and those in command need to be held accountable. Is it coincidence that they found both in the same approximate vicinity?
What was the cause of death? You’re right it is rare that there was no blood spatter in the Room, could she have been strangled? It’s so horrible, the worst part is that they’re covering it. She served her country and she was killed by the same people that were right next to her.
@Malorie The story I saw it couldn’t have been strangulation, the account said that he left the body in the armory room and went back to get it later. He had her in a pelican box apparently and wrestled it to his car later that night or something. Nothing makes sense. Even when they sort details and get any sort of truth it still doesn’t really give the family any closure. And especially since the perp committed suicide.
🙏🏻
Tragic and all too common. Trump weighing in means nothing. the environment needs to change especially for these incels that with a little combat training insist that they are morality vanguards. When in actuality they are juvenile predators. Stricter psych profiles need to be reinstated. And charges of assault need to be more thoroughly investigated and repercussions need to be adhered to.
NOT THE ARMY!!!!
THEY COVER EACH OTHER. INVESTIGATE VANESSA’S DEATH…GREGORY MORALES’S DEATH AND ALL THE MANY MORE DEATHS AND ABUSES OF SEXUAL HARRASMENT..BUT NOT BY THEM!…THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY CONGRESS. SO MUCH Iß GOING ON ON FORTH HOOD. IT SHOULD BE CLOSED.
allowing congress to do the investigation is a really BAD idea–they will just cover up what the military has done…it needs to be an unimpeachable non-government run investigation to get the truth
F*** this is sad man wtf
Sadly they’ll be no desired outcome for the victim’s family. The case is fuelled with so much speculation of what might have happened. The army will simply close ranks in the hope that this story will go away. Tragic and sad. This year has certainly been a terrible year for the world. I’m just hoping that things improve from here onwards. For the family of Vanessa Guillen, I’m sorry for your loss.
Hope Trump makes something happen here.
The base needs to go.
NOTHING ON HER FACE BOOK ? FRIENDS AT THE BASE OR OFF BASE…? TEXTS TO FRIENDS ,,SISTERS…? JUST ASKING ? SEE NOTHING ON TWEET,,,,FACE,,,,DAIRY…..
Que. Investigen. Toads. Las. Vases Los. Marino’s. Tanvien. Garcia
Nice one
They need to remove or burn it down or detonate that base down.And every single soldier should be at home and only go to base for at least 8 hrs of their military duties or when they will be release to war.No more bases.And Vanessa needs her own holy home were she will be laid to rest and we’re people can go and visit her every year to leave her flowers.No more women or men in harms way.
Huraa! Semper Fi!
When Agent Camarena was taken, look at the actions taken upon those disgusting humans, metal rained on them. The same justice should be taken for Soldier Vanessa Guillen. They should make a special investigation into sexual assault in the American Forces and women should be able to come forward. And a special jury should testify
Not just death. Brutal murder. They desecrated her body! They ripped her limb from limb and burned her remains. They covered what was left of Vanessa concrete. This is a disgrace and she is not the only one. They found more remains and she was not the first to go missing there. RIP Vanessa. You deserved so much better.
😓
Justice for Vanessa Guillen!
Justicia para Vanessa Guillen!
My condolences go out to the family and friends of Vanessa Guillen. Such a beautiful young lady serving this great nation with her whole life ahead of her. This is beyond sad.
Now this is a peaceful protest. No looting, no destroying, no problems. 👏👏
NBC I’ll know y’all are doing y’alls best to hit the nail on the coffin with this case. Everytime a Latino case catches attention in the media, the media will report only a few details on it and then do everything they can to dig a grave and bury it forever. Because if you notice the perpetrator was a black man and the media has always maintained the narrative that all black people are victims that do nothing wrong. Now that a black man perpetrated a violent crime, the media is doing everything they can to avoid touching on the subject because it goes against their narrative. Had this been a white man that did such a thing, the media would be all over ranting about it how a “Racist white man commits horrible atrocious crime against Latina woman”. It isn’t racist to state the fact that the media will do anything they can to not touch on subjects that don’t fit their narrative. It’s sad how divisive our media has become in this country. Stay woke my friends. NBC might be reading this and they’ll delete my comment soon.
People in her chain of command need to be brought to justice! They know more than they let on!
#racismhasnocolor #justiceforVanessaGuillen “United We Stand & Divided We Fall”-Brooklyn Tucson *justice for the people who have fallen. Rest in peace fallen heroes.
America !
As a Veteran with 20 years at several bases and as a retired senior NCO I can tell you this. Anytime a young soldier is afraid to come forward to senior staff with concerns like sexual harassment it is indicative of WEAK LEADERSHIP where the good old buddy system is alive and well and thriving in the US Army. It is also a sign the the US Army is failing to instill the Army Values in young soldiers and it’s failing them in that regard.
Rest in Peace Heaven, Vanessa Guillen ☁️☁️☁️🌈 ☀️🌈☁️☁️☁️Beautiful Angel
The world is less brighter without you here Beautiful Angel
Rest in Peace.
Not just Fort Hood.. It’s ALL the Military… We’re tired of high OPTEMPO… It’s old already..
