Pentagon restores a few webpages honoring servicemembers but still defends DEI purge

5 hrs ago

The Pentagon has restored a webpage honoring Gen. Charles C. Rogers after it was briefly taken down during an automated removal process, as stated by a spokesperson from the Department of Defense. Gen. Charles C. Rogers, awarded the Medal of Honor in 1970, was recognized for his bravery during the Vietnam War and was the highest-ranking Black servicemember to receive this honor.

The Department of Defense faces backlash for removing pages related to diversity, equity and inclusion content, leading to concerns about historical erasure.

Efforts to highlight the contributions of minority service members, such as the Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team, have also faced removal, drawing criticism from various communities, including veteran groups and legislators.
