The Pentagon is erasing history, scrubbing tens of thousands of images deemed DEI.
One marked for deletion is Harold Gonsalves, a WWII Medal of Honor recipient who threw himself on a grenade during the Battle of Okinawa to save his fellow Marines.

"On Feb. 26, the Pentagon ordered all the military services to spend countless hours poring over years of website postings, photos, news articles and videos to remove any mentions that "promote diversity, equity and inclusion."
Some people and their stories will be lost forever.
Is someone capturing the sites anywhere so the pages can eventually be restored?
I’d also like to know if these things are just being taken down or being permanently deleted.
I don’t know how it works.
Apparently, employees have been frantically taking screenshots but haven't seen any other efforts to save info

Check around and see if anyone has started this for the Pentagon or if necessary lets get people that have the ability to do this started on it.
That’s all it is.
And i aint even trying to be funny!
I hope that the MAGA supporting veterans are proud of themselves now; the Felon just spat on you all.
They are literally removing all references that aren’t straight white men, including the Ebola Gay because someone did a search and delete on the word “gay.”

When you advance an agenda that erases the history and legacy of a minority MOH recipient, just because they are African-American, it’s racism, pure and simple.
It’s not like Trump does not have a demonstrable history of racism. Check the record.
thanks to the complicity of the media, millions and millions of americans still have no understanding of what is happening

I am having a very hard time wrapping my head around all of this as it is DEFINITELY NOT common sense as Trump claims these decisions are when we rational people see them as being the total opposite.
Not sure if you spotted @falrising.bsky.social's other post - about Enola Gay - which further demonstrates how monumentally cack-handed this purge is.
