LaVena Johnson - The Silent Truth

http://mssparky.com In July 2005, 19-year-old LaVena Johnson became the first female soldier from Missouri to die in Iraq. She was found with a broken nose, black eye and loose teeth, acid burns on her genitals, presumably to eliminate DNA evidence of rape, a trail of blood leading away from her tent and a bullet hole in her head. Unbelievably, that's not the most horrifying part of the story. Here's what is: Army investigators ruled her death a suicide.

Ms. Sparky, how can we see this doc? 

[MsSparkydotcom]

@NeelieLyn To the best of my knowledge there has only been a private screening by Midtownfilms. We are waiting for a release so that everyone can see it. This tragedy must be publicized!

[MsSparkydotcom]

So who investigates the Army CID when they do something like this?

[SickBoyZap5]

You don't think that people of low character within the military don't get ideas from the private sector's well documented abuses!

I will pray for her poor parents...

But I'd like to beat the shit out of these fucking cowards...

[SickBoyZap5]

What the hell is going on with our military!? Ever since they started with the fuqn "private contractor" bullshit, KBR etc., it seems it's become open season on beautiful women who have the courage, and love of country, to serve!

Even though this apears to be an internal military problem, don't underestimate the atmosphere of permissiveness and disregard for law in Iraq by Blackwater, KBR, etc.

OMG wen I saw her dead body chills literally went up my spine....so sad!! I hope they found out who did this!

I live in St. Louis County, MO, to this beautiful family, Linda & John, accept my condolences, and that of the condolences of my special friend on FaceBook who forwarded the video to me. We both will continue to show your story on FB in the hope that our Government will finally face the truth about our military. Pure evil runs throughout our government. The voting booth does not seem to change things for the better.

Shame, Shame Shame on the Military for covering up this horrible crime, I hope the persons involved can not rest until they come forward letting the public know they did such a thing. Father bring these men to justice, in Jesus name. You evil men you will face the judgment seat of God for your crimes against this women: Revelation 20:11 to 15 "The Great White Throne Judgment" turn your selves in you demonic animals...Repent!

Perhaps she WAS raped and beaten and simply looked for a way out by suicide.

my older brother was found on ft.lewis WA training fields in dec 08.. two straight faced agents came to my house to report the horrible news. they told us it was a suicide but the "evidence" dont add up to what i see in the files and in real life. it was redicolus how hard we had to fight to get the littlest of information. and they didnt even tell us when they closed the case!! half the info on the files were blacked out and or removed. if you have any info somebody has to! let me know!!
