Pentagon bureaucrats fighting a rear guard action in favor of DEI are again engaged in "malicious compliance" to make Secretary Pete Hegseth's efforts to root out the racist and sexist DEI policies of Lloyd Austin look ridiculous.

References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and the first women to pass Marine infantry training are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts marked for deletion as the Defense Department works to purge diversity, equity and inclusion content, according to a database obtained by The Associated Press.

I have friends that work in the Public Affairs offices around the country telling me that this is exactly what they have been told to do, for around sis-hours daily... their main job now. With status reposts required about what, how much and the removal of the "offending" information. They say they are basically erasing minorities, women and the disabled from history because any reference to those groups pops up as a DEI indicator.

As part of an OPORD there’s “Commander’s Intent”, hope the SECDEF has put this out in writing. Failure to follow this intent should result in firing.

Then they are identifying themselves as too stupid to keep their jobs. Anyone participating in this needs to be removed.

Here’s the thing these Trump hating leftist did tax revenue absorbers and their leftist Trump despising suburban housewives missed

Everyone missed it on the pundit circuit

At Trump’s congressional address

Rewind it.

Take a look at the Joint Chiefs

Now look at not only how Trump went to them first, after the address, but how they respected him in total

They are not Mattis

They are sworn and duty bound to uphold the constitution from anyone who seeks to destroy it

We’ve never witnessed this - anyone who is alive now.

It might take more time than we’re wanting to wait

No difference

This will be different and definitely more pronounced than the post-Carter Reagan overhaul

These weenies will be checking groceries at Walmart wondering what happened

Watch

DJT’sEOrder said “fire the people” in DEI. OK. If any Fed dept rebrands and moves around those commie trash track them down by and fire them regardless where they are now.

It is like having someone convicted of pedo — it does not matter what they are doing now, their ....... “elimination” is forthcoming.

Those too stupid to keep their jobs are also too stupid to organize this.
Follow it back until you uncover the source.
This will take some time.

I expect there are camera everywhere which will make it easy to identify the children playing this crap game.

I don’t think Hegseth is a Bondi-type cream puff, and expect he will not tolerate this.

I used to work in the Pentagon. Two places that need special attention:

Joint Staff J1 (personnel)

and

Joint Staff J2 (all DIA employees)

Last night our local news reported with a straight face the news about the Enola Gay mentions needing to be removed because of the word Gay.

There is nothing more disgusting than childlike malicious compliance. They all need to be fired with prejudice. I have seen this before. People I could not fire found themselves in very unsatisfactory positions before they quit.

Disgusting.
