Amid ‘DEI’ purge, Pentagon removes webpage on Iwo Jima flag-raiser Pages celebrating Navajo code talkers and other minority service members were also erased.

This is veteran Thomas Begay, one of the last two living Navajo Code Talkers from World War II. The Trump Administration is removing Navajo Code Talkers from military websites as part of its DEI purge.

@whodge77.bsky.social thank yo so much for being on top of things!!!

I’m so grateful to dump the former Twitter and see this finally fill that space. I liked mastodon but it was so hard between the different spaces people accessed, to connect. (For me anyway).
