Fort Hood

The Fort Hood Report is a snapshot in time of the largest Army post in the country, from the height of its deployment cycle to the recent drawdown. Below you will find 31 in-depth testimonials from Fort Hood veterans, soldiers and family members who lived through the trauma of that time. We hope you will read their words, along with the report’s recommendations for the U.S. military and government, which emerged from conversations with more than a thousand soldiers, veterans and family members stationed at Fort Hood. “If they feel that they need you out, they’re gonna kick you out. If they feel they can get a little bit more work into you, it doesn’t matter what your case may be, it doesn’t matter how injured you may be, they’re going to work you until you’re fully broken.” “(My Commander) said, in front of my counselor, with me in the room, ‘If you had not been drinking that night, you would never have been raped. It is your fault, because you were drinking.’…Nothing was done according to regulation..Honestly, it makes me realize why so many victims do not report.”
