Our thanks to Nigel for this. Check out the still image at the top of the piece. It was taken during a statement by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, behind him are five “persons of colour” and a white woman. Check out the short video (0:54) which Newsweek have posted so as to only show Jeffries. Extracts from the article:
Lobach, a 28-year-old Army aviation officer from Durham, North Carolina, was assigned to the 12th Aviation Battalion at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. She had served since 2019.
She had no deployments, [J4MB emphasis] the Army said, but had received several commendations, including the Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal and Army Service Ribbon…
“Rebecca earned her place in that aircraft,” said Lieutenant Samantha Brown, also a friend of Lobach.
“She was outstanding, and she deserved to be there.”

Justice for Men & Boys 
“I hope that she’s remembered more for the impact she had on other people’s lives”.
She certainly had an impact on the lives of 66 other people.

Indeed. I hope the full truth of what went on in the helicopter is revealed, but I expect it won’t be. The more experienced (male) pilot could apparently have taken over the controls, but didn’t. One wonders why. Possibly a fear of the personal consequences if he took control from a woman, given the cultural climate that women are strong, women are amazing?
Was he even reluctant to tell her what to do? The ATC told her what to do (rejected as “mansplaining, possibly?) and she didn’t do it. I wouldn’t be in the least surprised to learn she’d had a panic attack. Women’s anxiety just one of numerous reasons they shouldn’t be allowed on the front line – and this happened in peacetime, imagine the problems (and numbers of casualties) in wartime!
