They are erasing history.



HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A webpage detailing the history of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team has been removed from the U.S. Army’s official website.

The 442nd, combined with the 100th Infantry Battalion, remains the most decorated combat unit in history for its size and length of service. The World War II unit was made up mostly of second generation Japanese-Americans.

The Army website had the history of the 442nd before President Trump’s executive order ending what he called “radical” diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI initiatives.

1. The history of the US Military is being ethnically cleansed?

Who can believe this, who can accept it? What's next Aryan posters?

with the Army's Buffalo Soldiers regiments.

6. Wonder how long he'll be around

7. My thought also. Plus the boos didn't have anything to do with dei but fascism.

3. This is fucking disgraceful.

4. These "radical" DEI combat units were WWII heroes. They fought against a fascist ideology

Now, a wanna be fascist ideology wants to erase them from our history. Never ever dreamed this 🤬

5. The 100th BN of the 442nd is the only Army Reserve Infantry unit. They

are headquartered at Ft Shafter with companies on Hilo, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa and WA state.

I wonder if they're going to deactivate the units...I won't put it past them.
