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.
Every day it is one more shame after another. It is clear the worst people in the world are running America.
I hate that saying “they are fascists” is not at all in the slightest hyperbole :(
WTF is this timeline?
His Wikipedia page which details the events that led to his being awarded the Medal of Honor.
I hope this absolutely enrages every military member, but especially every non-white military member. This is a slap in the face.
Dude was fucking battlefield monster. https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/charles-c-rogers
He was blown to the ground by an artillery shell, popped back up, rallied his men to repell an onslot, then got wounded again, ignored that shit, killed seven men attacking his position, then directed artillery to blow apart a enemy troops position. All while seriously wounded and definitely concussed.
Abolute beast and hero. He saved many lives that day.
now think about the quality of men (e.g. old bonespurs and the fauxnews taking head) that are dishonoring him and so many others.
I’m ashamed for having served this country. It feels like I helped these fuckers do this by putting in the uniform.
My brothers and sisters in uniform, the actual people, deserve better than this. We’re watching our family of millions get destroyed with the only hope of salvation being literal mutiny. Slap in the face doesn’t even begin to describe the pain these fuckers have caused.
By this logic we should remove Clarence Thomas from his seat by executive order and call his tenure deijustice.
He’s one of the “good ones”
Nothing says you’re a coward louder than trying to erase a hero.
History is too “woke” and full of “forced diversity”
If you were raised right, this is one of the things you’d know is wrong to do. Absolutely shameful.
All minorities should quit the military service right now in protest.
All minoritieseveryone who doesn’t want to be part of a racist fascist regime should quit their military service right now in protest. It should be obvious at this point that Comrade Krasnov doesn’t give a fuck about military service members, veterans, etc. Especially minority veterans, that just makes it worse. And that follows a long line of the republicans who have consistently voted against VA benefits and yell about supporting our troops while they are comfortable having them succumb to treatable injury or commit suicide once they leave the military. They’re only valuable when they’re making billionaires more wealthy or killing enemies of the state.Please keep your non-MAGA soldiers in service.

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…
Black metal of honor. FTFY.
Rogers, the highest-ranking African American to receive the medal, was awarded by President Nixon in 1970 for heroism during the Vietnam War.
When NIXON is less reflexively racist than you, you KNOW you’re fucked up!
Reminder for those who might be unaware or forgot:
Nixon started the War On Drugs specifically to hurt the two groups of people he hated more than anyone else in the world: black people and hippies.
That’s not a conspiracy too. One of the main people involved straight up said that it was so they could put black people and hippies in prison since being black or a hippy wasn’t a felony.
The URL was also changed, with the word “medal” changed to “deimedal”.
What. The. Fuck.
But they’re not racist! No no no! /s
this is no surprise seeing as our last president was a big supporter of segregation with buses and schools
Friendly reminder that Trump described military personnel who got captured or killed in action as “suckers” and “losers”. He and his lackeys have zero respect for military honor, bravery, and sacrifice.
respect for military honor, bravery, and sacrifice
All these things are barely applicable to the USA in Vietnam war.
he specifically said i dont like captured or dead people.
This is a deeper problem than race. Being willing to erase the record of a Medal of Honor recipient so haphazardly in an attempt to be racist shows how little the DoD is paying attention to details versus letting Dark MAGA/DOGE take over the country and potentially alter history in the process.
