They are literally saying that this man got the medal of honor because of DEI?

They restored the page on Monday saying that it was part of an “auto-removal” which can only mean that their system automatically removes Black (and women and other racial/ethnic minorities) under the assumption that they are all DEI and thus undeserving of any recognition. Why else would that have appeared in the new url? (That url was preserved in the wayback machine archive.)

It’s not the only example. You already know that Hegseth fired all the top women in the military and removed the Black Chairman of the Joint Chiefs because he believes they are unqualified. They aren’t big, strong, drunk white rapists like he is. Last week it was reported that:

Arlington National Cemetery has begun wiping from its website histories highlighting Black, Hispanic and women veterans. The change is in line with President Trump’s directive to remove references to and support for diversity, equity and inclusion from the federal government.
