Pentagon Removes Ira Hayes from its Iwo Jima Page

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

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.

We leave history alone.

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

Not because they are veterans, which is what you want to imply.

The whole country is hurt by a bloated federal government that can't even be bothered to show up at work 5 days a week, and can't list 5 things they did during a week.

We leave history alone.

The American Museum of Natural History in New York City quietly began removing a controversial statue of former President Theodore Roosevelt on Tuesday night in the final chapter of a saga that has stretched for nearly a year and a half. By Thursday, only scaffolding and tarp remained.

"The relocation of the Equestrian Statue from the front steps of the American Museum of Natural History began Tuesday," a museum spokesperson told NPR over email. "The process, conducted with historic preservation specialists and approved by multiple New York City agencies, will include restoration of the plaza in front of the Museum, which will continue through the spring."

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.

Who actually took those pages down?

We will find it was some DEI underling mad at the policy changes at DoD, I am sure of it.

 

[Mac-7]

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

I would bet money on it

Find the person who authorized it and if they are uniformed military reassign them to Alaska

If they are civilian fire them

 

[Mashmont]

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

Any hero who is not white probably won because of DEI

I always bring up Satchel Paige. In no way is he deserving of the Hall of Fame statistically. Not even close. Yet there he is. Because of DEI.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

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.

Sure................

Because it has an indigenous person being celebrated with whites.

Why else in this climate.

Write Pentagon tell them to put it back up. I have.

He was one of six people ... They were all wearing green ...
No more, and no less ... And that's inclusion ...

Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge.

The statue still stands at the US Marine Corp War Memorial ...
Depicting all six Marines that rose the flags ...

All stories say the Cemetery says the pages will be restored.

Another 2-3 day only Dem whine-fest.

Then why remove him?

Should Jackie Robinson be ignored because every player wore Dodger blue?

Then why remove him?

Should Jackie Robinson be ignored because every player wore Dodger blue?

.

For starters ... If he would like to be included ...
He would be no different than any other Marine ...

Furthermore ... Ira Hayes was not one of the original six who raised the first flag on Mount Suribachi ...
They were Marine Staff Sergeant Louis R, Lowery, Corporal Charels W, Lindberg,
Privates First Class James Michels, Harold Schultz, Raymond Jacobs, and US Navy Corpsman John Bradley.

Ira Hayse was just a 'pinch hitter' in the second photograph and flag raising.
And the Memorial is dedicated to All Marines that have lost their lives since 1775.

You really think Trump directed this to exactly happen?

Did I mention Trump? Nope.

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

Hegseth is an underling? Thats fair.
