Stapp joins an ever-growing list of <a href=\"https:\/\/extremism.gwu.edu\/Capitol-Hill-Siege\" target=\"_blank\">at least 131 current and former service members to be implicated in crimes connected to the attempted insurrection<\/a>, according to figures compiled by the <a href=\"https:\/\/extremism.gwu.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">George Washington University Program on Extremism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stapp joined the Air Force\u2019s reserve component in September 1997, ascending to the rank of major over the course of a 25-year military career, according to personnel files shared with Military Times. Stapp began serving as a pilot and technician in the reserve\u2019s 403rd Wing stationed at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, in September 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stapp spent most of his time at Keesler piloting and maintaining C-130J transport planes for the unit\u2019s 815th Airlift Squadron, <b>according to Lt. Col. Marnee Losurdo, chief of the 403rd Wing\u2019s public affairs office. <\/b>He had a brief stint with the unit\u2019s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron (dubbed the \u201cHurricane Hunters\u201d) before ending his service with the wing\u2019s Operational Support Squadron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stapp last performed military duties in May and is currently \u201cpending separation from the U.S. Air Force Reserve,\u201d <b>Losurdo told the Military Times. <\/b>Why and under what conditions Stapp is leaving the reserves remains unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the 23 awards the 44-year-old major received during his service were an Afghanistan Campaign Medal and an Iraq Campaign Medal, accorded to personnel that served in those war zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal investigators, relying on a mixture of open-source photographs, social media posts, and cell service records, allege the decorated airman marched through the Capitol on Jan. 6 sporting a black hoodie, tactical gloves, and a beanie stitched with the words \u201cLegalize Freedom.\u201d<b> <\/b>His arrest was first reported by The Daily Beast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was one of the best things I have ever gotten to do. That was history,\u201d Stapp posted on Facebook the night following the riot, according to his criminal complaint. \u201cWe took over the fucking capital (sic). Shows them what a small percentage of unarmed Americans can do. Just think of all the patriots came and cane (sic) armed[.]\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maj.
