LaVena Johnson

Culture Buzz When the body of the Private First Class was returned to her parents in Missouri from Iraq, LaVena Johnson's father called bullsh*t on the Army's claim that her death was the result of a suicide. Footage clearly indicates that, in reality, Johnson was likely beaten, raped and murdered (in fact, a trail of blood was photographed outside her tent). The Army, however, has refused to provide further information regarding the case, proving that, even in an "army of one," it's not hard for a soldier to be easily forgotten if she isn't a white male (or, better yet, a star football player).
