[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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 [b]not whats happening here[/b]. 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. [/quote]

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

Um, per the article the White House insisted they restore videos about the Tuskegee airman that the Air Force had removed.

[i]The Air Force briefly removed new recruit training courses that included videos of the Tuskegee Airmen soon after Trump’s order. That drew the White House’s ire over “malicious compliance,” and the Air Force quickly reversed the removal.[/i]

Exactly. Waste and inefficiency for an exercise that is useless except for propaganda purposes.

Of course the existence of the Enola Gay would be preserved, and (hopefully) the Tuskegee Airmen would be preserved in other contexts. The idea is that these are materials used in training and overall communication to troops and we just can't have them being made aware of the accomplishments of women, minorities, and (not sure if tagged as such) LGBTQ people either in terms of signature accomplishments or just day to day service.
