War heroes and military firsts are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge

apnews.com War heroes and military firsts are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge

References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and women and minorites 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.

Notably, the military is no longer allowed to talk about the plane that first dropped an atomic bomb — it was named the Enola Gay

Just erasing history. Not fascist at all…
- Don't worry about those people we fought 1939-1945. They weren't important obviously, that's why were erasing them, no other reason.
- We have always been at war with East Asia

Lmao, the Ebola Gay was literally named after the pilots mother. 😂 Dumb fucking cunts.
- That's a hell of a typo lmao
  
  Damn autocorrect, leaving it because its too funny.
- Ebola Gay
  🤨
  
  The gay panic non of us wants.
  
  Lmao, whoops. Damn autocorrect. 😂 Leaving it.

I made the Enola Gay joke a couple weeks ago thinking there's no way they could be that stupid. I don't know why I'm surprised.
- I bet that's how The Onion writers feel.

Holy shit, if they get rid of the Enola Gay at the Air and Space Dulles annex… that’d be a fucking travesty. It’s a morbid thing to look at, for sure… but it’s also unequivocally a piece of history, and frankly a bit of an engineering marvel for the time as well.

Shrek 4 is looking worse by the minute.

They'll hsve to rename NTSB to NTPB The national portation and safety board.
And why happens to Gaylord, MI?
- It goes straight to Hell, MI

The woke left is turning the airplanes gay

Proof , again, that Stupid simply can not be reasoned with.
Its too stupid. Which is not the same as simple. Its a choice.
Doubly so when its tribal stupid.

Trump is a Wish.com Stalin.
