To be deleted | Black & female soldiers, war heroes, & 'Enola Gay' references flagged in Pentagon's DEI purge

The Trump administration’s war on woke has reached the Pentagon, with pictures of black service men and women being removed from its official website and, even more bizarrely, a picture of the Enola Gay, the B-29 Superfortress that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

Its removal has little to do with sensitivities around the machine that killed an estimated 70,000 people in one go and much more to do with the fact that it has the word ‘gay’ written on it. Service personnel with that last name are also part of a database of 26,000 pictures that are marked to be deleted.

A photo of Army Corps biologists was on the list, apparently because it mentioned they were recording data about fish, including their weight, size, hatchery and gender.

'Would you guys knock it off?' - ex-official on 'crazy' DEI purge

Speaking on CNN, Van Jones, former Obama administration official, said: “It's terrible. The thing is, and I don't even think we should use their language. Their language is, oh, we're doing it because of DEI. No, you are removing black people, gay people and women from America's government's websites. That's wrong. That's wrong. In what world is that appropriate? If we said, after Obama got in, we're gonna take down all the pictures of the white boys. People would say, Are you crazy? Are you smoking something? That's terrible. It's anti American.
