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.

Sorry. That’s not right.
Do you want conspiracy theories....because that’s how you get conspiracy theories.
I’m not accustomed to the DoD placing a request from a family at the top of their decision tree.
Somethings afoot.
You mean cause and effect?
What’s hegseth say about this?
Exactly.
“at the request of the family”? When did that happen before and why is it allowed. Something STINKS!!
Conspiracy Theory #1
possible leverage against the confirmation hearings
Rumors are the third was the pilot and transgender…
It’s not the family’s decision.
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.
We need to get 4chan on this.
They get up to 72 hours. As a matter of courtesy. Then the military is required to be transparent with what is happening.
We are not like the Soviets.
Are we?
The truth will come out eventually. By withholding the name and any issues of the remaining crewmember, this will fester all weekend, if not until a Congressional inquiry. My guess is that Trump knows it was a woke co-pilot who did this and is letting it build up before ordering the release of the name and info.
Unusual.
Why did family request this?
Those rumors were wrong
We shouldn’t repeat rumors.
This pretty much -proves- they are hiding something. Either DEI and a related very poor flight training record. This is either a tranny, or a female that should have lost their wings long ago but her command was reluctant to take action.
This stinks to high heaven.
You are right that it is the second pilot and that is has been reported as a female.
Not sure why Trump or Hegseth has not released the name
Pure BS that family can stop release of name.
