The U.S. Army on Friday released the names of two of the soldiers killed when the military Black Hawk in which they were flying collided with a passenger jet, but said, in an unusual decision, that they were not releasing the third name at the request of the family.

Uhhh, no.
Anybody involved in such a high profile incident with mass casualties and multiple millions in property damage cannot be granted anonymity without trampling on the rights of the many suffering from such egregious losses.


You mean like the trannies trample on the right to privacy of biological women by invading their bathrooms and locker rooms? The wokesters are all about trampling the rights of others with their delusions.

“ Then the military is required to be transparent with what is happening.”

Exactly.

It’s not the family’s decision.

Maybe, maybe not. With them hiding something, it could be that the rumor was true.

Commissioned officer and highest-ranking person on aircraft. I believe this is unprecedented. However, there must be hundreds of soldiers (and WAGS) in her unit and thousands of flight-school and others who have served with her, so I have to imagine it will leak shortly.

Buying time for the family to scrub the deceased digital traces?

Yes the military unit knows who it is.

They didn’t return.

Those rumors were wrong

Maybe. Someone posted on facebook claiming they were the tranny pilot and they weren't flying the black hawk and they are still alive.

But we don't know more than that.

The rumors were probably wrong, or perhaps it's just the wrong tranny blackhawk pilot which was identified.

Refusing to release a name implies something isn't right.

EXACTLY!!!!

That leads to speculation about *religious* affiliation.

Another terror attack?

It should be public. IT was done in public and people have the right to know information that either does affect us or could potentially affect us.

If you think of the worst reasons for doing this, you’re going to be close to the truth.

The rumor involving the transgender pilot is not true. He/she is alive.
It could be another DEI case.

My first question when seeing this accident was:
Who on that plane or chopper needed to die???

And to be clear, we don’t know if it is or isn’t a tranny because they’re not releasing the name of the third person. So just because it’s not the person named earlier doesn’t mean it’s not someone living the dream of d i e

Mortuary affairs soldiers are looking at the manifest of 1 female, and 2 males and wondering why there are 3 peckers.

The Army doesn’t really need to release the name, although they should. A good many people surely know who it was. It will become public at some point, family request or not.
