Fight to bring the Code-Talkers honor story back like they did for the Tuskgegee Airmen. Every veteran should be asking Trump: “So we’re not honoring the heroes that won WWII anymore? I want to hear that answer

The Code Talkers were the fundamental opposite of the DEI bullshit, which presumes that people are hired who aren't qualified to do a job. They were literally the ONLY people qualified to perform that task, which saved countless American lives and led to victories that turned the tide of the war.

Instead of righting the wrongs of the past and allowing indigenous people to reclaim and rewrite their own history, the regime is erasing colonization entirely and removing any historical contributions to US history.

Your general point is valid - but they didn't break the codes. They talked in Navajo - which the Japanese had no way to translate.

The code breaking of the German Enigma machine was Alan Turing and others. While the Japanese codes were broken by the U.S. Navy.

And it was 'encrypted' Navajo, full of substitute words, a system developed by the code-talkers themselves.
