Actually, if you look at the Misawa AFB facebook page they use big A Airman to refer to the deceased, which fits.

An "airman" in USAF usually refers to an enlisted person, also known as a "non-commissioned officer" (NCO). Loose reporting only adds to the confusion. Once the deceased is actually identified, the confusion should be cleared
This is wrong. Lower case "a" airman refers to E-1 to E-4. Upper case "A" Airman refers to anyone, enlisted or officer, in the USAF.
The person who wrote the FB post from Misawa PA was being vague because they did not want to release specifics until notification to the family.

I never understood the allure of doing this, even as a tourist. You want to pay to drive a gokart through Tokyo traffic right at eye level with the exhaust pipe of every vehicle around you? Pass.

This will amount to nothing other than to virtue signal to the conservative/republican masses.
She screwed herself, they were talking about doing spinoffs and what not for her character and she blew it. Sacrificing her career to "own the woke mob" on social media is a very big brain move.

We got 8 Marines out there. Hoping for the best.
There were six on board and it flew out of Yokota so the aircrew were like Air Force.

Road without guardrails. So your standard unsafe for pedestrians side road that is all over Japan. Combine that with Jiji who can't see where he's going and the road probably being barely over one lane wide and this is what happens.

I have a sneaking suspicion you're onto something here.
And what would that be? That these types of traitors and other right wing terrorist all have similar background stories? An obsession with guns and militias, anti government/sympathize with foreign governments, desire to commit mass harm to innocent people, white supremacist tendencies....it's always the same story.
It's been the same since the Oklahoma City terrorist bombing.

As is expected, Republicans are the biggest hypocrites ever and would rather side with communist China then Democrats.

Rather than rag on the woman like the rest of the crusty expats here I'll just say this.
This is a clear-cut example of the lack of a support network for single mothers in Japan. This woman went through hell, the fact that she thought leaving her newborn in a restroom was her best option shows the mental duress she was under.
These stories will never go away until Japanese society and culture changes, and we all know how long that takes.
