    They’re also removing pictures of a Medal of Honor recipient from World War 2. His crime? Being Hispanic. Because being Hispanic and being awarded the MoH posthumously is obviously DEI. From that infamous time of DEI awards, 1946.

    The Enola Gay is still mildly radioactive, so I can’t help but think “Hot gays in your area ready to bang”

    If they do this then they should at least be consistent and remove every mention of the words Straight, Bi, Pan and Trans as well

    Taking your Biplane for a transatlantic flight, straight to the Panama canal? That’s a paddlin

      They know exactly what they’re doing, it’s a “purification,” not entirely dissimilar to the same that happened in the 1930s in Germany.

          Nononono! They’re super-smart! Even when everything they do looks exactly what an incredibly stupid person would do that’s just because they’re playing 1000D chess! They’ve thought of everything so we should all just give up and accept their rule.

          they’re not who they’re manufacturing consent from. it’s the ~55% of people who apparently listen to nothing but spotify and watch nothing but entertainment

    Also apparently any photo of any Black or woman service member.

    Because they didn’t consider the possibility that women and Black service members did noteworthy things based on their actual merit.

      Including a Hispanic Marine who received a Medal of Honor for jumping on a grenade to save his comrades. Medal given in 1946, the infamous period of DEI…

      “Images of historically significant military achievements or personnel, such as the Tuskegee Airmen and the first female Marine Corps infantry graduates, have been flagged for removal.”

      Wow. That’s pretty blatant.

        The Tuskegee airmen thing pisses me off so much. Like brick-throwing shit-burning degree of angry.

      I don’t believe that they’re even that capable. Probably really on LLMs to write every script for them and don’t know whether or not it actually works.

    I was really hoping this was a case of intentional malicious compliance to draw attention to the stupidity of this new policy. No such luck.

    Why can’t they just rename it Enola Straight?

    Though Enola sounds pretty ethnic.
