The military removed at least 10 webpages about Native American code talkers to comply with Donald Trump’s executive orders against diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Some military pages now lead to error messages, while others mention compliance with DEI removal orders despite maintaining content.
Critics expressed outrage, claiming the removal of content involves erasing the history of indigenous soldiers who served in key battles during WWI and WWII. Pentagon Press Secretary John Ullyot stated, “DEI is dead at the Defense Department,” confirming adherence to the orders.
