War heroes and military firsts are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge

WASHINGTON (AP) — References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and the first women to pass Marine infantry training are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts marked for deletion as the Defense Department works to purge diversity, equity and inclusion content, according to a database obtained by The Associated Press.

The database, which was confirmed by U.S. officials and published by AP, includes more than 26,000 images that have been flagged for removal across every military branch. But the eventual total could be much higher.

One official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details that have not been made public, said the purge could delete as many as 100,000 images or posts in total, when considering social media pages and other websites that are also being culled for DEI content. The official said it’s not clear if the database has been finalized.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had given the military until Wednesday to remove content that highlights diversity efforts in its ranks following President Donald Trump’s executive order ending those programs across the federal government.

1. it is as if these DOGE morons

is using the BASH script
#!/bin/bash

# Set the keyword to search for
keyword="gay"

# Set the directory to search in (current directory by default)
search_dir="/"

# Find files containing the keyword
find "$search_dir" -type f -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d $? file; do
if grep -q "$keyword" "$file"; then
echo "Found in: $file"
fi
done

possibly with some refinement to only search documents / text files / photo captions...
