How can any MAGAs defend this???

It is not erasing history. It is fixing how some have continually fixated in framing history in terms of immutable characteristics, as opposed to individual character and merit.

It's appalling. It is also a waste of resources. First, it has to be defined as a work project to be done with a plan to do it. Of course they are using technology (sounds like the idiotic keyword searches they have used elsewhere) but then to avoid being entirely stupid they have to one way or another review image content (so they don't remove the Enola Gay photo, tagged because of the word "gay"). Someone has to also write a report to be reviewed by someone higher in command to be reported up the chain to confirm the work has been done (because, you know, we want to be sure even military people aren't just getting paid to sit around doing online shopping). Total, pointless waste.

Maybe we are living in a Vonnegut novel.

And what's more, MAGA complains that taking down a Confederate statue is erasing history. Ridiculous.

The mental gymnastics is strong with the you, son.

Too bad they didn’t stick the landing.

The dumbest people are running our country. It’s the same mentality behind the spate of firings, just grab everything that triggers a certain keyword and toss it.

Is this supposed to be sophisticated AI? I’m not impressed.

So the Enola Gay will cease to have existed? I don't understand your logic.

You didn't open the article, are a bot, or are not an American.

They tried to erase the Enola Gay. Do you know any US history at all?

I'm not defending the action described in this article-- I'm not opposed to DEI, and I don't know anything about this database-- but the notion that the military henceforth won't be showing pictures of the Enola Gay is obviously absurd and not whats happening here. It's hard to get worked up about the removal (or preservation) of some database I've never seen, and neither I nor you have any real sense as to whether this is a big deal.

In other words, history should be curated to not offend your sensibilities as opposed to studying what actually took place.

It IS what is happening. The achievements of the Tuskegee airmen are being purged from history, as one example.
