Sergeant Joshua Abate says that he’s not a rioter or an insurrectionist. Those closest to the active-duty Marine call him “a good guy.” But he was part of the mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. On the eve of a new presidential election, what does his case tell us, as the nation still grapples with the legacy of that day?

As they look into the military’s reckoning with extremism in the ranks, NPR’s Tom Bowman and Lauren Hodges examine Abate’s main line of defense: Don’t focus on what he did; focus on his promising career as a Marine, instead.

Embedded’s new two-part series “A Good Guy” drops Thursday, October 24.
