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.
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.
Several photos of an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California were marked for deletion, apparently because a local engineer in the photo had the last name Gay. And a photo of Army Corps biologists was on the list, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish — including their weight, size, hatchery and gender.

In addition, some photos of the Tuskegee Airmen, the nation’s first Black military pilotswho served in a segregated WWII unit, were listed on the database, but those may likely be protected due to historical content.

Wait, so they removed the name of the Hiroshima aircraft because of the word Gay?

Is this real life or are we living in a simulation?
yeah i think they’re running scripts that look for keywords indiscriminate of legal name, address, etc. values and just straight up removing it. because that’s efficient and what we need right now….

That’s exactly what they’re doing. I was on Reddit and people in academia said the gov is using AI to screen research papers and scholarly journals for certain words like inclusion, race, discrimination, disparity etc. to flag universities for have “DEI”.

Insulting any and every minority/women who ever served for this bytch ass racist country :smh:

Article says up to 100,000 images could be removed. They would remove the Tuskegee airmen if they could but it’s protected under historical content. These mf’s on some Jim Crow shyt in 2025 :snoop:
