Congress will launch an investigation into sexual assault, disappearances, deaths and the leadership's response at Fort Hood after 28 soldiers stationed at the U.S. Army base in Texas died this year, two subcommittee leaders announced Tuesday.

Democratic Reps. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts and Jackie Speier of California sent a letter to Army Secretary Ryan D. McCarthy requesting documents and information on the deaths. Lynch chairs the Committee on Oversight and Reform's Subcommittee on National Security, and Speier leads the Committee on Armed Services' Subcommittee on Military Personnel.

The base has had far too many unsolved deaths for many years.

How does that compare with recent years? What were the circumstances of these deaths?

When you put homosexuals in the military you add a sexual dynamic.

When it’s straight men ordering straight men around and competing with straight men there is a lot less abuse going on.

Same with having women in there. Sexual dynamic. Abuse. Excess. We are human beings.

Straight men only in the military. Or pay the price.

When Zero was fake president, a muzzie 'chaplain' kills a bunch on base, and no Demagogic Party concern was forthcoming.

I think that’s part of it, but not the entire picture. I believe there’s more nefarious stuff going on.

There were people in this government and society who, long ago, decided that we were all going to pay the price for those things.

To them, it was worth it. The experiment.

God help our military personnel in a hot war.

Remember it was called “work place violence” not terrorism.

Men raping men in the military has been going on a long time, even before gays were officially let in. I've seen the congressional hearings and internal investigations on this topic. I'd bet some of these deaths at Fort Hood were suicide due to shame.

That said, adding women and gays was absolutely the wrong policy, both from the sexual dynamics interference and because women can't physically be as effective as men.

It sounds like there could be serious black market/organized crime and/or drug issues there....

The senior folks at the base should be moved somewhere else so fresh eyes can look at what is happening there.

Yes sexual abuse will always still occur everywhere. Recruiting and allowing open homosexuals makes it far more prevalent and gives them a platform for it. Also a power structure to protect themselves.

I'd not have been surprised if the shooter had been asked up to the White House for a beer.

Yes. Known by many to be a loose cannon and dangerously psychotic, and nothing was done. Neither before nor after the carnage.

I can't recall anyone being held accountable.

Lynch and Speier are among the most radical left wing Dems in the House. They’ve never cared about the military servicemembers. Ever.

The REMFs who made the decision to integrate women into the combat arms and to allow homosexuals to serve in the military DID NOT AND WILL NOT EVER HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR IDIOCY!

Those who are in the ranks and in the leadership are the ones who will suffer.

And, the poor suffering US taxpayer of course, who must pick up the additional cost of these REMF’s mistakes!

LIEberals are that way, you know; they create a huge mess and then leave it to someone else to clean up!

And pay for!

And then, they go looking for scapegoats!

Ask the former Ft. Hood Commanding General!

I was there for DOE/NNSA .50 cal course and UAV course with 4th BDE/4ID. We had three deaths on base inside a month:...1n E6 got lost on a land nav course and died, a TUAV operator walked into a Hunter UAV and bled to death, and an LMTV rolled over killing one. No murders though.....
