The U.S. Army has fired or suspended 14 officers and soldiers stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, following an investigation into sexual assaults and murders at the base, including the bludgeoning to death of 20-year-old soldier Vanessa Guill\u00e9n, whose remains were found in July. \u201cThese are institutional failures at scale. And by the Army\u2019s own admission, and in this report, it\u2019s clear that this is not unique to Fort Hood,\u201d says Pam Campos-Palma, an Air Force veteran who leads the Vets for the People project at the Working Families Party. \u201cThe military is dealing with large-scale corruption and crime, and it should be treated as such.\u201d Meanwhile, veterans groups are demanding the firing of Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie after an inspector general report found he tried to smear a woman who filed a complaint of sexual assault at a VA hospital.<\/p>\n
