CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Army is investigating a psychological operations officer who led a group of people from North Carolina to the rally in Washington that led up to the deadly riot in the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump.
Commanders at Fort Bragg are reviewing Capt. Emily Rainey’s involvement in last week’s events in the nation’s capital, but she said she acted within military regulations and that no one in her group broke the law.
“I was a private citizen and doing everything right and within my rights,” Rainey told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Rainey, 30, is assigned to the 4th Psychological Operations Group at Fort Bragg, according to Maj. Daniel Lessard, a spokesman for 1st Special Forces Command. Known as PSYOPS, the group uses information and misinformation to shape the emotions, decision-making and actions of American adversaries.

DUDE!! I'm so pissed off that this! How in the Hell can a PSYOP officer, a person that is supposed to not only be trained to know better but also be trained to think objectively and critically, be sucked into this level of stupid AND take others with her?!?

I can't figure that one out either. At least she should have looked at her Branch and said to herself......maybe I should avoid this specific protest.

SSG Michael Hartsfield - there are a couple of them, higher ranking enlisted and field grade officer, that were absolutely convinced that Trump was going to win a second term, and repeatedly said so.

True. But those that did should be hunted down and face the appropriate legal actions.

We agree. Law breaking should be properly dealt with. <-- period at end of sentence.
