my read: this is an attempt to show the public that the military is unified in support for j6. i don't buy it. something about this feels like someone swallowed their own pride and honor and self respect to make this 'honorable' funeral happen. someone trying to keep the peace. military officers are not ignorant of what j6 represents, in my admittedly anecdotal experience. for another thing, observe party commisar the honorable mr lohmeir's name on the order, as opposed to any general staff officer's.

it's bad, very bad. but we're not quite ready to start putting people against the wall yet. we're still thinking about how we're gonna get people to think about that first.

edit: the honorable mr lohmeir is a published author. I want you to guess the nature of his book before you click this link.

Nah, this is feeding the MAGA base. They have been ginning up conspiracies about her death since it happened, pushed by fox news/Tucker Carlson. They needed to find an excuse for one of their zealots being rightfully killed that day, in order to downplay the whole insurrection.

Her mom has kept the conspiracies alive, and conniving politicians have gone along with it because the media engine gives them a boost with the fanatics

This is just the latest example. MAGA can now go "see! She didn't deserve to be shot! even though the air force says so!"

Yeah that seems plausible too. probably more plausible than my read tbh. i'm a little afraid my read may be tainted by copium.
