Hegseth’s DEI Purge Includes WWII Enola Gay Aircraft

The Associated Press reports:

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 includes more than 26,000 images that have been flagged for removal across every military branch. But the eventual total could be much higher. In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.

Read the full article. There’s much more idiocy. The Enola Gay was named for the pilot’s mother, Enola Gay Tibbets.

The running joke about the Trump Admin, Musk, DOGE & his doggies is they hit “control-F” to find and cut anything they don’t like.

Turns out the joke IS TRUE.

They’ve been canceling anything they can find with the words gay, trans, Black, etc. Ex. They canceled “The Enola Gay.” https://t.co/5pYhHdzxIL pic.twitter.com/SDOCMZ02XQ

The “Enola Gay” -the plane that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima – was flagged for homosexuality in the Hegseth Defense Dept’s purge of DEI & LBTQ images. More: The bomb was nicknamed “Little Boy.” Groomer? https://t.co/hxxZjAsthx
