Why? Read this thread. She's a soldier who just died on active duty serving her country and people are immediately trying to spin narratives about her being a DEI hire, about her being incompetent solely because she's got a uterus between her legs instead of a prostate, or because she served as an aide to the WH under a Democrat.

We have no idea whether she was promoted unjustly. We have no idea whether she was unskilled as a pilot. And we certainly have no proof she actively tried to hit that plane. We do know she was getting bad info from an understaffed control tower, but that's it.

And instead of treating the soldier with respect, we're trying to capitalize on her death to forward our "I told you so" political narratives or outright conspiracy theories. No family wants to have to deal with that sort of bullshit while grieving a loss and having to bury a daughter.

That's why they wanted her identity kept out of the news. Frankly, I'd want that for my family members too, even if they did screw up. The last thing you want is that to be your final memory as you lay someone to rest.
