It’s childishness. It’s not new. Some opponent of removing DEI from the military is playing games. They will attack anything related to sex or race to make fun of the policy. They will also say they support HegsethHe’s not joking, read about it today. One of the search words was gay and it hit in that and some war heroes whose last name was Gay. This is rampant stupidity. Someone with some sense will reverse at least some of the stupidity. I hope.

Uh huh, you think it’s an opponents although there is no evidence of that. Interesting.
Earlier….what did the Air Force do? Made a big deal about removing the Tuskegee Airmen from a history module used at basic training
What?
It’s stupid. Has nothing to do with the policy. Someone is playing games from within.
Lisa Yates would be proud
Removing DEI is the policy. That has nothing to do with removing photos of the Enola Gay.
What policy are you referencing?
That one. The article said they conducted a search using key words, like “gay”, to find the offending historical digitized DEI pictures.
And someone decided the Enola Gay falls under the DEI policy?
Two choices…they are an idiot or they are playing games. Same with Tuskegee.
Do you think the Enola Gay has anything to do with DEI policy implemented by Hegseth?
It was flagged because of the search. If course I expect someone to eventually find many of the flagged pictures aren’t offensive DEI pictures. Whatever they are. This is just an example of the hamfisted ways of this administration so far. Ignorant amateurs are in key positions doing things ignorantly.
Were any programs renamed to avoid scrutiny?
If so, who would make the decision on the re-naming?
I have no idea. You seem to think DEI was beloved in DoD or something. It wasn’t. It also wasn’t a policy generated and implemented by DoD leadership. DoD leadership merely carried out the lawful order from the CinC to implement a DEI policy. It’s very unlikely that there will be resistance of any significance to reverse that particular policy within DoD.
At no point did I say beloved. I’m sure the rank and file hated it. Do I think there are some that agree with the previous policies…yes I do. Do I think they would like to embarrass Hegseth…yes I do.
Biden’s political appointees may have been mostly true believers, but the rank and file civilians and military brass was just following a lawful order to implement a policy. I don’t believe there is any concerted effort to embarrass Hegseth.
I do think Hegseth will eventually embarrass himself, but that’s another topic.
Are you critiquing a digital search inquiry?He’s not joking, read about it today. One of the search words was gay and it hit in that and some war heroes whose last name was Gay. This is rampant stupidity. Someone with some sense will reverse at least some of the stupidity. I hope.
