Trump’s keyword strikes the country’s defense archives

The Ministry of Defense has marked thousands of archive pieces and posts for the abolitionComplying with President Trump’s crusade against everything that resembles diversity, equity and inclusion mandates (DEI) – including apparently unrelated materials and references indicated by keyword research.

Among the documents which should be deleted from government websites and publications on social networks are written notices in the history of the veterans of the Second World War and (at least) 26,000 archive images, reported the Associated Press, including information on the recipients of the medal of honor, all the crew women and the Gay Military Aircraft who abandoned an atomic bomb The Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945.

The purge aims to erase specific mentions related to women and minorities – publications on social networks and websites of websites that commemorate historical events, but which also include diversity, are also at risk of moving. Research on the keywords of “DEI” content is not exactly an effective system, the AP found in its survey, with publications and image legends that use the term “gay” (to designate the historic plane or, even, the family name of a veteran) marked for deletion in the database. Information on the biologists of the body of the army studying the weight, size and gender of the fish have also been reported, as well as apparently random photos with legends like “the suitors for lifts of land raise the book bar” and “The brothers of Minnesota meet in Kuwait”. Although some photos and pages have already been deleted, others remain, and it is not clear which is the reason for withdrawn from the department.

An initiate told AP that the purge could lead to the abolition of 100,000 images and publications in all military branches, but some workers try to save and capture materials before their absence. “We are satisfied with rapid compliance through the department directive By deleting the DEI content from all platforms, “said Pentagon spokesperson John Ulyot.” In the rare cases that the content is deleted which is out of the clearly described extent of the directive, we instruct the components accordingly. “”

The referral order was made by the defense secretary Pete Hegseth in February, who recently Purged Dei mentions and programs of American military schools and ordered soldiers to disqualify and prohibit transgender AmericansExpanding an exclusion law implemented under Trump’s first mandate. The Ministry of Elon Musk Government (“DOGE”) recently argued that the cancellation of contracts from the Dei Department Save $ 80 million in public spending. The agency has recently been accused of Inflect projected savings figures.
