A female soldier at Fort Hood has provoked an important amount of controversy at her post in Texas, forcing Fort Hood officials to weigh in on the major social media attention.

Sgt. Jewel Scott posted a video saying, “If I end up dead, if I end up missing or something just know somebody did it and I just want to get out there and put something out because I know media I know my job, being in the military will paint these false narratives”. She went on to explain that she is starting to feel as if her days are limited. “Something is just telling me my days are limited. This is not me trying to tell y’all I could be dead the next day, I don’t know but I do know the people that end up dead wish they could’ve put something out they wish they could’ve told their truth.”
Sgt. Jewel Scott, who is stationed in Fort Hood army base in Killeen, Texas, has been posting videos saying she believes her life is in danger. After voicing her concerns of issues at the base, they had her arrested and hospitalized.

Later after making that viral video she was detained by federal law and local law enforcement who alleged she was posted as “AWOL”. Scott also had a friend with her, a soldier named #IsiahSmith who has been giving play-by-play updates on the viral altercation. A few hours ago Smith shared to his IG story saying, “Jewel Scott is at the MP station awaiting for a ‘trusted’ unit rep to pick her up. She was escorted by the military personnel seen on the live, she is safe. I am as well. I’m being held at my unit, continue to spread the news, please. 🙏🏽”
In response, Fort Hood officials spoke up about the matter.

“We are aware of the allegations and concerns raised by Sgt. Jewel Scott. We take all allegations of misconduct seriously and commanders will investigate and take action as appropriate. Sgt. Scott is safe and in the care of her unit leadership,” III Corps officials wrote.
She left the base bc she feared for her life, came back & was detained. It was live-streamed on IG and the person with her was detained for recording. I’m afraid for her and feel the most proactive thing is to keep attention on her #jewelscott #forthood https://t.co/jcNIZcaajg

“Our Soldiers can always bring up concerns to their leadership, who will take appropriate action commensurate with Army Standards and values.”
Scott then began arguing with III Corps and Fort Hood after the statement went live.
“THIS IS A LIE! I am NOT in the “CARE” of my LEADERSHIP. The last time I have spoken to my leadership was when they had me illegally arrested by undercovers, and taken to the hospital,” she claimed in the post.
Scott added that she was “illegally arrested by undercovers” and was going to be discharged within ten days for “misconduct.”
Please tweet #Jewelscott so they know we know! There’s no way y’all arrested her for speaking her truth! They’re gonna try to get rid of her evidence, cover it up or worse. Praying you make it home safe !

According to KWTX, Scott has set up a GoFundMe to help her transition to civilian life.
“While stationed here, I have witnessed awful. For months I have tried to bring awareness to these things in which Fort Hood continues to cover up and neglect,” the soldier wrote on the GoFundMe page. “Once they were made aware that I have been working with news stations. I quickly became a target and person they needed to hush.”
