The leadership at the U.S. Army base Fort Hood in Texas created an environment that led to the death of Sgt. Elder Fernandes, the family’s attorney said.

BROCKTON, Mass. – The leadership at the U.S. Army base Fort Hood in Texas created an environment that led to the death of Sgt. Elder Fernandes, who was missing for more than a week until he was found dead Tuesday,Fernandes was found hanging from a tree in Temple, Texas, about 28 miles from the Fort Hood base.

Khawam said that after Fernandes reported in May that he had been inappropriately touched by a male superior, he was transferred to another unit, and word spread within the new unit, leading to harassment, belittling, bullying and hazing. Special Agent Damon Phelps said the investigation was completed “fairly recently” and that Elder Fernandes was made aware of the outcome.

“The chain of command was very much invested in this trooper,” said Lt. Col. Justin M. Redfern, 553rd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion commander."It was a person that we felt was exemplary. As the behavior changed, the chain of command became very aware of the change in his behavior.”“The change in behavior preceded the unwanted touching, it preceded some of the other indicators that we saw,” he said.

So sad to see possibly gay troopers killed because some one thinks they are sinners or abnormal, which they are not. The one who killed or persecuted them to the extent they commit suicide.

The sad thing is that child was hanged in a tree.............. SMH.... so much going on.... it's truly scary!!!

Jack Nicholson would be great in the role of the General over the base.
