Articles about the renowned Native American Code Talkers have disappeared from some military websites, with several broken URLs now labeled "DEI."

Why it matters: From 1942 to 1945, the Navajo Code Talkers were instrumental in every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
They were critical to securing America's victory at Iwo Jima.
Driving the news: Axios identified at least 10 articles mentioning the Code Talkers that had disappeared from the U.S. Army and Department of Defense websites as of Monday.

1. The GOP Draft-dodger-in-Chief hates all military

Truly. Having no honor, he deflects by casting denigrating remarks at those who do have honor.

As he has said of America's solder and war dead, he thinks of them as SUCKERS AND LOSERS.

He's forever looking for ways to piss on our soldiers and veterans. This is just one more way.

What a disgrace. And what an absolute disgrace for the GOP to support this.

2. Really. What is the purpose of the whitewashing of military history?

Is the trump/hedseth admin so racist and insecure that they can't acknowledge POCs who served this nation honorably in wars?

5. Correct. Doesn't everyone know that intelligence is present in only the straight white males?

Watch old westerns. For those that can't see it, Blazing Saddles throws it right at ya, partner.

6. Maybe his supremacists hurt because they can't do anything like that.

3. They helped win WWII.

Our enemies could not break the US NA codes.

4. This is truly fucked up

7. The code talkers are one of those magical stories from our history.

8. These white men are such snowflakes

In our current crop of "leaders" very few served with any kind of distinction. They must be jealous at being shown up by a group of people who served a country that didn't even care about them and who treated their peoples terribly.
