#Vanessa Guillen

[ofsappho]

I have complicated feelings about the COD fandom fetishizing “barracks bunny” because of the sexual violence that women in the military face.

LaVena Johnson, Ana Basaldua Ruiz, Vanessa Guillen, countless other unnamed women. All of these soldiers were murdered or “committed suicide” after being raped/sexually assaulted/sexually harassed in the military.

The barracks bunny stereotype is a violently, murderously misogynistic stereotype that gets women killed.

And not just women in the military - wherever troops go, sexual violence, trafficking, and femicide increase.

A Marine at Camp Pendleton abducted a 14 year old Indigenous girl after purchasing her from an unnamed pimp and keeping her in the barracks to rape her! He kept her on that base for 24 hours before she was rescued and last week was charged with sexual assault. Military bases are highly guarded places. How would he have been able to keep a child in the barracks to rape without the knowledge and collusion of his fellow soldiers?

Indigenous women and girls go missing and are found murdered at astronomically high rates because of racism, colonialism, and systemic abuse of Indigenous women/girls under both of those things.

The objectification and fetishization of Asian women by Western men is the direct result of Western militaries sex trafficking Asian women and girls in Asia before/during/after WW2 and forcing them into prostitution. Once these Asian women had been forced into prostitution, they had no other choice but to keep doing that and as time went on, this created a sex tourism industry in Asia specifically for foreign white men.

In some cases, Western soldiers even took over the disgusting sex slavery camps the Japanese military enslaved Korean women/girls in during WW2 and kept those women imprisoned to serve the Western soldiers who were there to “liberate” them.

I could write a whole separate post about the sexual violence experienced by women and girls in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and other places in the Middle East at the hands of Western soldiers. That wasn’t very long ago and it’s still going on today! We remember!

(And you might be like: ofsappho, why do you care? I care because I have immediate family on both sides that survived Japanese occupations during WW2. I care because my family was directly impacted by the US chasing out the Japanese from Manila and what they did after. I care because there is a history of violence/abuse in my family of American soldiers exploiting native Filipina women. Real people, real women are affected by this issue and have been for decades.)

What I want most of all is for people to educate themselves on this. There’s a reason why these issues are hidden, overlooked, covered up, not spoken about, and that’s to enable this systemic abuse and permit it to go on.

If you are still able to stomach writing about barracks bunnies after researching this, then that is your choice and I accept it.

Cecily Aguilar, the Texas woman who admittedly helped mutilate and conceal the body of soldier Vanessa Guillen, was sentenced to 30 years in prison following a lengthy court hearing Monday, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Western Texas. Aguilar had pleaded guilty in November to federal charges connected to the 2020 killing at Fort Hood. The charges included a count of accessory to murder after the fact and three counts of false statement or representation. Aguilar was the girlfriend of Aaron Robinson, the soldier who was suspected of killing the 20-year-old soldier. Robinson fatally shot himself as police moved to arrest him in connection with the case.

‘I Am Vanessa Guillen,’ The Film of The Late Fort Hood Soldier, Is Out This Month | BELatina

Guillen captured the media’s attention and continues to be a serious topic to be discussed – thanks to her family that remain resilient and continues to demand answers and much-needed change from the military.

The film’s press release, “I Am Vanessa Guillen” shows how Guillen’s sisters carried her name from protests in the streets to the halls of Washington, D.C. It captures behind-the-scenes footage of their pursuit to “change a deeply rooted, controversial military justice system.”

The 95-minute film also features interviews with family and friends as well as elected officials like Rep. Jackie Spears and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

It was directed by Christy Wegener, produced by “Mija’s” Isabel Castro, and executive produced by Story Syndicate’s Dan Cogan, Liz Garbus, Jon Bardin, and Nell Constantinople.

Harvey’s signed on to a new film project, a comedy called Road Dogs:

Dallas Roberts (Big Sky), Arden Myrin (Orange Is the New Black) and Harvey Guillén (Reacher) have signed on to star in the comedy Road Dogs, from Bustled Knuckle Productions and Residue Remains Productions, which goes into production in Minnesota this summer.

The film centers around three stand-up comedians who hit the road for a simple weekend showcase but soon find their plans derailed by a crooked club owner and her homicidal bouncer. Vanessa Leigh is directing from her and Aaron W. Bennett’s script, which was based on Bennett’s time as an improv comic and comedy club owner in Central Washington. The duo will produce alongside Kris Black from Residue Remains Productions, with Hunter G. Williams of Busted Knuckle Productions serving as executive producer.

IMDb lists Harvey’s character’s name as Jimmy and includes a poster:

20 year old Ana Basaldua Ruiz dies by what Ford Hood officials claim to be suicide after telling her family she was being sexually harassed.

Really at this point who do they think they are fooling?
