Summary
The U.S. Department of Defense removed the webpage honoring Maj. Gen. Charles C. Rogers, a Black Vietnam War hero awarded the Medal of Honor in 1970.
The page now returns a “404” error, and its URL was changed to include “DEI.” Rogers, the highest-ranking African American to receive the medal, was awarded by President Nixon in 1970 for heroism during the Vietnam War.
The deletion follows Trump’s efforts to roll back DEI initiatives in the federal government, including an executive order terminating diversity programs.
The Defense Department has not commented on the removal.

Perhaps like the gays they are too precious and we shouldn’t encourage them to fight?
That’s what I’ve been wondering. These heinous acts are supposed to have good faith excuses, aren’t they? Some way to try and pretend it isn’t racist? “The people being deported are dangerous criminsls” (I don’t believe that, but that’s the excuse). What is the non-racist justification for erasing the accomplishments of black people?
They are at the very least implying the medals were improperly awarded.
That could be disproven by looking at why they were awarded, surely?
America is racist.
Not every American, obviously.
But as a nation, institutionally, America is racist.
Some times it’s more so than others, but it always is, to varying degrees throughout its history.
That’s DEI! No, wait, that’s critical race theory! No, wait, that’s fake news! OK, now I got it…
