“I understand that the family’s initial request was denied by Air Force leadership in a letter dated February 9, 2021,” [USAF Undersecretary] Lohmeier wrote in the Aug. 15 letter shared by Judicial Watch. “However, after reviewing the circumstances of Ashli’s death, and considering the information that has come forward since then, I am persuaded that the previous determination was incorrect.”

[I wonder what that could be.]

In May, the government agreed to pay Babbitt’s family nearly $5 million as part of a settlement.

I mean it’s not like she’s the one receiving the honor. She’s dunzo. Let these people have their delusion.

We're celebrating traitors now. It's not governmental overreach; I don't know what to call it.
She is NOT a traitor and the cop was wrong to kill her.

As I recall, she was killed when she was leading the vanguard of the people who were trying to stop the Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 election…an (at best) extra-constitutional political maneuver that sought to pause the proceedings and allow Donald J Trump to remain as President despite losing the 2020 Presidential election.

I can agree that she shouldn’t have died that day, but her death seems to have stopped the main thrust of the attempt to overturn the election result and that was a “good thing”.

She was at the head of a mob, with fell intent, getting close to lawmakers. It was a good shoot, and he's been vindicated.

The traitor's burial place deserves the GG Allin treatment. I promise you I'll pay the legal fees.
THIS POST IS VERY PRESIDENTIAL. MOST HONORFUL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. -M2TM

I thought getting killed by the cops due to poor police judgement (even if you were in the process of committing crimes when it happened) immediately granted one "Saint" status and absolved one of all prior infractions, and made one a hero/inspiration worthy of reverence...

Cities should be paying to commission murals depicting her with angel wings and a halo.

Did the rules change again?

(yes, I'm being snarky)

Yes she is. If Dante is correct, we know which circle she is in. No respect for those who betray their oaths.

Traitors ? Was Ashley a traitor? About the only thing Ashley was guilty of was trespassing. Like many others which at the very most should have only been a fine not jail time. In Ashley’s case it was a bullet to the neck probably discharged from an officer under stress.

I'm not buying that. Her purpose in trespassing was, from my point of view, a direct violation of her oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Yes, she was. She betrayed the oath she took when she joined the military. And there's no probably "something". We know fully well what happened. She was part of a mob, trying to break through a barrier. They were warned not to do so (twice iirc) and when she began to push herself through as the tip of the mob, she was shot. Good riddance.

She seemed to be very intent on not following the Constitutionally way of getting/keeping Presidents in power, she wasn’t a traitor in the sense that she sold out her country to an enemy but that she got took by over zealous rhetoric spewers.

About the only thing Ashley was guilty of was trespassing.
In the ante room of the House of Representatives during an unprecedented riot, yes, no wonder she got got.

Like many others which at the very most should have only been a fine not jail time. In Ashley’s case it was a bullet to the neck probably discharged from an officer under stress.
She was brave, I will give her that, misled but heroic.

I wonder how many of her defenders have actually watched the video of her being shot vs just listened to the takes of Tucker Carlson et al.
I wonder how many of her detractors have watched the video of the police moving out of the way and granting her access to the window
