Pentagon removed the hero Ira Hayes from its Iwo Jima webpage. Ghost Johnny Cash is going to make you pay.

Amid ‘DEI’ purge, Pentagon removes webpage on Iwo Jima flag-raiser​

Until recently, a page on the Defense Department’s website celebrated Pfc. Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian who was one of the six Marines photographed hoisting a U.S. flag on Iwo Jima in 1945, as an emblem of the “contributions and sacrifices Native Americans have made to the United States, not just in the military, but in all walks of life.”


But the page, along with many others about Native American and other minority service members, has now been erased amid the Trump administration’s wide-ranging crackdown on what it says are “diversity, equity and inclusion” efforts in the federal government, a review by The Washington Post found.

Multiple articles about the Navajo code talkers, who were critical to America’s victory at Iwo Jima and the wider Pacific theater of the Second World War, were also removed, along with a profile of a Tonawanda Seneca officer who drafted the terms of the Confederacy’s surrender at Appomattox toward the end of the Civil War.

The purge, which also targeted multiple webpages about women and LGBTQ+ service members, highlights how aggressively military leaders are pursuing President Donald Trump’s anti-DEI mandate. Their actions mean that some of the most authoritative sources of public information about the achievements of minority service members decades before government DEI programs existed have disappeared. Some of the articles, including the piece about Hayes, remain online on websites or social media accounts for the individual branches of the military.

This reeks as another example of "malicious compliance"

 

[rightwinger]

Nobody wants to read about heroes who are not white males.

Any hero who is not white probably won because of DEI

This is probably some butt hurt DEI underling maliciously complying with Trumps directives on DEI

Definitely malicious. Or this is what happens when you let AI determine things.

 

[martybegan]

Definitely malicious.

You really think Trump directed this to exactly happen?

This is some underling doing the old "letter of the law" excuse over butt hurt.

"Yes, the Pentagon removed the entire page that celebrated Ira Hayes and the other five Marines involved in the iconic Iwo Jima flag-raising. This action was part of a broader effort to eliminate content associated with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The page had highlighted the contributions of all six individuals, including their diverse backgrounds and sacrifices."

Maybe you need to be more specific in your directions

MAGA is Spiteful Pricks

They hate gays, minorities, non-Christians, women who think they are as good as men

God forbid a transgender accomplishes something

MAGA is Spiteful Pricks

Doing this for political points against veterans is far more petty and spiteful than anything Trump supporters would do.

There is ZERO policy benefit from this for Trump.

Once again the Dems go for the "1 week" lookahead headline grabber that will be fixed by the DoD's political leadership.

MAGA is doing this against veterans, and it is very spiteful.

The butts at the Pentagon took down the site to the Iwo Jima flagraising featuring Ira Hayes and his fellow heroes.

MAGA is firing veterans left and right
What happens when your only tool is a Chain Saw

Trump wants to do his dirty work without anyone finding out who is getting hurt
Doesn’t work like that

Nice job adding content after I responded, you fucking hack.

No, No, No, No,

All we want is for you to stop mutilating and drugging children, for men to stop playing in women's sports. and for the right of people to not have to participate in public in someone's cosplay or fetish.
