Trump Blasted After Military Scrubs WWII Navajo Code Talkers From Websites Due To 'DEI'
You can scrub them from your websites, Donald, but they will never be forgotten.
Apparently it really is the case that anyone who isn't white is somehow unqualified.
You're viewing a single thread.
Code Talkers are actual legends. Far beyond shameful to do this.
This is infuriatingly disrespectful... just fucking sickening.
They already scrubbed Ira Hayes.
What the fuck are they gonna do next, rename every Army helicopter?
They are all either officially named, or given an... official-unofficial name, after native tribes or chiefs as a sign of respect for their determination, tenacity and ferocity in combat.
Blackhawk.
Chinook.
Kiowa.
Little Bird.
Shawnee.
Choctaw.
Cheyenne.
... and the Commanche and Arapaho, though those never went into full scale production/adoption.
The Huey is actually named the Iroquois, it's just that its original designation of UH-1 got ... nickname-ized and became more prevalent.
...
Oh my fucking god.

This was the page that described what I am talking about with helicopter naming conventions.
... they literally just affixed 'dei' to the page's name, pointed the old page to redirect to this dei- affixed page, and are then manually refusing to serve anything with dei- affixed to it.
... anger noises ...
If you wanna see a full list well I guess now you gotta go to wikipedia because Trump and Elon are racist fuck sticks.

We are losing so much more than we realize this very moment. This is the true moment, not the election, when we decide if we want to move forward to a world that celebrates our differences, or one that imprisons us because of them.
Maybe the fucking military should fucking say/do something? I dunno just a thought.
The military is supposed to be apolitical and not get involved. They're not elected, so they don't attempt to shift public policy... CONGRESS is supposed to advocate for things like this.
Well yes supposedly. But they have also sworn to protect the countries from enemies abroad and within.
From an outsiders perspective: you already have both with the latter leading the government
Well, no, they protect the "The Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic" and shortly thereafter "and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."
So, by that logic, 'speaking out' is explicitly against the same oath. Unless of course it's an unlawful order but that's only against the Geneva Convention. Good luck getting some protection there when you decide not to gas the migrants.
Protection? If you're still only at the stage where you resist within legal grounds then the US is really done for
So, you would back a military coup at this point?
I mean, I'm not saying it'd be worse but, yeah, the US is well done.
No I meant acting without caring for consequences. If large parts of the brass stand their ground - without resorting to a coup (though I have the feeling that many officers are more trustworthy than most US politicians) - even Trump would have a hard time doing anything
They're complicit. They love this. Apparently our military is indescribably racist to its core and loves fascism.
The jbsa page you linked is now dead.
If they could feel shame they would be deeply upset by this
They're nothing in the eyes of Bigly Chief Bone Spurs
