They’re coming for the women too. Going all the way back to WWII!
The Air Force Times has more evidence of the “DEI” purge going on at the Pentagon:
Some Air Force webpages on pioneering female pilots — from World War II to the modern era — have been taken offline, as the Trump administration continues its drive to eliminate diversity-related materials from government sites.
Air Force Times identified at least a dozen pages on the WWII-era Women’s Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, and retired Maj. Gen. Jeannie Leavitt, the Air Force’s first female fighter pilot, including biographies, photos, museum exhibits, a video and a commentary, were no longer online as of Tuesday.
The URLs for three of those pages were modified with the acronym “dei” — short for diversity, equity and inclusion — a term the Trump administration has used as a pejorative.
The removals come as the Trump administration and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have assailed diversity-related initiatives of previous administrations, calling them divisive and a distraction from efforts to make the military more “lethal.” President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office ending those initiatives and later directed the military and other government agencies to swiftly pull such materials from public view.
I guess that figures. It’s quite clear that Hegseth doesn’t think women belong in the military. He’s been forced to sort of accept it for now because they are necessary. But this DEI purge of all recognition of non-white men, LGBT and women pretty much says where he’d like to take it if given the chance. Those white supremacist tattoos and his history of sexual assault should have been the first clue.
