not just people of colour..the enola gay is bad news because..we we all know why


Even baseball great Jackie Robinson isn’t safe from getting labeled “DEI.”


The military history of Robinson — who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in 1947 after serving as a second lieutenant in the Army as a younger man — was wiped off a Department of Defense website as the Trump administration works to eliminate anything it considers “diversity, equity and inclusion.”


The Pentagon has removed thousands of pages documenting the history of people of color, LGBTQ people, women and others from marginalized backgrounds and their contributions to the U.S. military. Among the targets? The Tuskegee Airmen, the Enola Gay aircraft (because it contains the word “gay”) the Navajo Code Talkers, prominent female fighter pilots and the Marines at the Battle of Iwo Jima. (In response to public outcry, a number of the pages have been reinstated.)

WASHINGTON — References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and the first women to pass Marine infantry training are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts marked for deletion as the Defense Department works to purge diversity, equity and inclusion content, according to a database obtained by The Associated Press.


The database, which was confirmed by U.S. officials and published by AP, includes more than 26,000 images that have been flagged for removal across every military branch. But the eventual total could be much higher.


One official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details that have not been made public, said the purge could delete as many as 100,000 images or posts in total, when considering social media pages and other websites that are also being culled for DEI content. The official said it’s not clear if the database has been finalized.


Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had given the military until Wednesday to remove content that highlights diversity efforts in its ranks following President Donald Trump’s executive order ending those programs across the federal government.


The vast majority of the Pentagon purge targets women and minorities, including notable milestones made in the military. And it also removes a large number of posts that mention various commemorative months — such as those for Black and Hispanic people and women.
