The Army’s Special Treatment of Capt. Rebecca Lobach
Real Clear Defense ^ | 2/5/25 | Chase Spears

Posted on 02/05/2025 10:37:27 AM PST by Valpal1

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.

Hopefully we’ll be seeing the manifesto soon.

It certainly made me more curious - guess we’ll see what, if anything else, comes out

The cover up is always worse. This pretty much guarantees she was an incompetent DEI hire with a silver spoon upbringing. The people who allowed this need to be fired immediately.

As for her posterity it deserves to be dishonored and forgotten and the family humiliated for covering up the truth from the American people.

She was property of the US people and they are hiding the truth, using our tax dollars to do so.

Social media scrubbing means - she was a lesbian, rabidly anti-Trump, or both.

Next thing we will find out is she may have been a Ranger School graduate, likely given a year to prepare like the other women who first “graduated” and were guaranteed a tab just by showing up.

The Army has been conditioned for decades to loudly insist that ALL female troops are outstanding in every way, and absolutely vital to our combat capability. They can do anything male troops can do, better, and anyone who says otherwise is cashiered.

They just can’t stop spreading the lie and hiding inconvenient truths. SECDEF Hegseth has much to do to root out the cancer.

Yeah, there are pics of her at LGB events and the statement from the family mentions her "partner".
Don't know about her feelings about Trump.

How does one know social media is scrubbed? The fact it does not exist?

I got none. Didn’t have to scrub it.

If it existed previously, I thought all those wayback procedures could recover things gone.

I think it is likely that she received special consideration in the form of letters of recommendation from higher-ups (Eg retired military officers, current congresscritters). Such letters would be very interesting to read.

It could not be more perfect. The last gasp of a woke military machine.

I’m guessing not a “business” partner here, in this context?

Putting her level of qualification aside, they need to Court Martial the officers who designed, approved, and implemented the current training program.
