One of the rioters killed by police in Washington identified as Ashli Babbit, a 14-year veteran who served four tours with USAF as a 'high level security official.' That means she took part in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia or Syria or in the rendition of prisoners to Guantanamo 1/4 
or other secret prisons. Of course, none of that matters because she was serving her country. In fact, even those who oppose Trump probably praise her service record and would otherwise have seen her as a true patriot because of it. 2/4
Now that she's been identified as part of an "insurrection" against the very nation she claimed to serve I wonder if anyone will question the machinery and system that sewed her path to violent confrontation, like they've done with Muslims for the past two decades 3/4
Babbit's last tweeted words would otherwise have been shocking : 'Nothing will stop us....they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours....dark to light!' 4/4
