Something is very, very wrong at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA 98433

A year ago, in June 2024, JBLM soldier John "Robbie" Maupin murdered two people in Lacey, WA after being denied access to mental health care and crisis counseling on JBLM. This month we read of Travis Decker, a former JBLM soldier also denied access to medical care and support on JBLM who thereafter has a complete mental break and murdered his three young daughters. The common factor in all of these deaths is that people in crisis who repeatedly reached out for help were denied access to that help by JBLM because of a corrupt and abusive police force (JBLM DES) and an uncaring and incompetent Commander who uses denial of access to medical care as a way to retaliate against those who speak out against JBLM misconduct. At least 5 people are dead because of the complete failure of leadership at JBLM. JBLM corruption also puts our community at risk. We ask that you pass our concerns to the JBLM Commander and demand that he takes responsibility for these senseless deaths because of his complete failure as a leader. NO PERSON SHOULD BE DENIED ACCESS TO MEDICAL CARE AT MADIGAN BECAUSE THEY ARE BARRED FROM ACCESSING JBLM - DOING SO IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW 10 USC 1074 / 1076.
