Military Purges Enola Gay Photos: DEI Run Amok
President Trump’s executive order to eliminate military DEI content has led to the accidental removal of over 26,000 images, with the final count potentially exceeding 100,000. This purge has mistakenly targeted unrelated images, including those featuring the Enola Gay and individuals with the surname “Gay,” due to flawed automated processes. The Pentagon defends the initiative, claiming DEI undermines military effectiveness, despite concerns about the loss of valuable historical records and the disproportionate impact on images of women and minorities. The removal process continues, hampered by limited personnel and inconsistent archival practices.
