The 2020 disappearance and murder of a young Army specialist that prompted service-wide reckoning and reform may still be affecting efforts to recruit female soldiers, a revealing new slide presentation indicates.

I don't blame any woman who doesn't want to join. There was this just this year:

"On March 13, Pvt. Ana Basaldua Ruiz, a soldier assigned to Fort Hood, Texas, was found dead in an apparent suicide after telling her family about sexual harassment she had faced in the Army.
The death set off immediate scrutiny as it echoed that of Spc. Vanessa Guillén three years prior, which led to pledges of increased transparency from Army officials.
Yet a second soldier also died by apparent suicide that same day, and base officials, already bracing for a firestorm surrounding the circumstances of Basaldua's death, didn't disclose the additional fatality."
"Spc. Katerina Weikel,who served in 64th Military Police Company, 720th Military Police Battalion, 89th Military Police Brigade, was also found dead on March 13.
Weikel's death was discovered by Military.com through two obituaries, one published in her hometown newspaper in New York state and a brief obituary posted by a funeral home in Killeen, Texas, outside the base walls.
She died just one day after her 29th birthday.
Weikel's death was initially reported as a suicide off-base, but the circumstances of the incident are still being investigated, a person familiar with the case told Military.com."

PFC Denisha Montgomery Smith - her story never gained traction in the media and her sister was posting on TikTok but I haven't seen anything in awhile. There is video of her being assaulted by other MP soldiers. She called her family right after. And another soldier involved in that assault died 2 weeks or so after she did...

Another Female Soldier Died at Fort Hood. The Base Said Nothing.
In the wake of the Vanessa Guillen death, Army officials promised that Fort Hood would increase transparency. But Military.com has uncovered at least one recent death that went undisclosed.
