The Army’s Special Treatment of Capt. Rebecca Lobach

The Army’s Special Treatment of Capt. Rebecca Lobach
excerpt:
Over the weekend, several Army public affairs officers and Pentagon reporters expressed heartbreak over Lobach’s passing, implying she was uniquely victimized above the 66 others killed. In contrast, they were largely silent when the identities of the other soldiers and jet passengers were released. Some narratives even suggested that the president was to blame for the Army’s deviation from standard protocol. Army officials surely knew the risk of this event becoming politicized and encouraged it through their unprecedented actions.
Beyond violating military regulations, the Army strategically released Lobach’s identification on a Saturday—a classic public relations tactic used to bury news. Meanwhile, it appears her social media history was erased, despite the insistence that she was an admirable public servant. The inclusion of a family eulogy in the Army’s announcement further signaled that her passing was somehow more profound than the rest. Why? The Army’s actions invite speculation. The best way to honor Capt. Lobach as a soldier would have been to treat her like any other. Instead, by attempting to craft a heroic top gun narrative around her, Army officials took a path that increased concerns about the circumstances of the crash. This is a textbook example of the "celebration parallax"—as if the Army intends to prove that women receive no special treatment by giving one woman special treatment.

Yes... I am pointing out that this all became known awhile back. I didn't click your link, but is there any new information available? It was awful and terribly mishandled, I don't dispute that.

We already know for a fact that DEI is a contributing factor to the crash, in that Democratic Administrations refused to hire white male air traffic controllers despite a shortage. People have come forward who were highly qualified but were not hired because of their race and sex. Those in charge were more concerned about improving the ratios among groups than on providing full staffing.
The handling of has echoes of the handling of the shooting of Ashli Babbitt. For a long time the name of Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who shot her, was withheld. Instead of being fired, he was given a promotion, even though nothing in his history justified one, and injury pay, even though he was not notably injured. While it was impossible to celebrate him as a hero or victim, another officer, who died from an unrelated medical condition the next day, was falsely celebrated as a hero and victim. All of this seemed to be an effort to stop blame from falling on a Capitol Police officer, and, especially, on a minority hire, since such blame implicates the whole organization.
Maybe this is nothing like that; I don't know. But the Army seems determined to drive people to such conclusions with their behavior.
ETA: and of course, Ashli Babbitt was not shot during the crisis actor hoax in the lobby of Nancy Pelosi's office - NANCY PELOSI's FCKG OFFICE!
The recovered Black Hawk black box indicates she was flying at 300 ft. at the time of impact not the 200 ft. she was required to fly. Pilot error.

We know she had a minimal number of flying hours, and may have been a lesbian.

It appeared to me that the black hawk went significantly upward just before impact - I man like the 2 or 3 seconds immediately prior to impact
