Images of "Enola Gay," the aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan are among those targeted by the U.S. military in an initiative to eliminate content related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
They are among a number of photos unrelated to DEI that have been mistakenly flagged, including those from an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California, seemingly because an engineer in the image had the last name "Gay."
Why It Matters
The military is set to remove thousands of photos and online posts in the DEI purge following an executive order issued by President Donald Trump.
The Pentagon's directive to remove DEI-related content has resulted in the flagging of more than 26,000 images across all military branches, though officials suggest the final count could exceed 100,000 as reviews continue.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has defended the move, arguing that DEI initiatives undermine military cohesion and operational effectiveness.

The operative phrase is “Malicious Compliance”
You have to be democrat dumb to believe this crap
It is malicious compliance.
This is a lie.
Ya they have tried this several times in different areas. This will be corrected and most Americans will see through this childish behavior.
The Babylon Bee bought Newsweek. This was not widely reported.
“You have to be democrat dumb to believe this crap”
Could be true. Only “flagged” via a word search?
It is unlikely that Hegs is defending this. He will probably correct it when he is made aware.
Headline is clickbait to jerk conservatives. Don’t be a victim.
More Democrat disinformation
There are no more DEI rules except to kill it.
“It is unlikely that Hegs is defending this. He will probably correct it when he is made aware.”
Nothing to defend. Typical first pass in an electronic search.
Headline is clickbait designed to jerk conservatives.
When I was learning to read, “gay” was one of my favorite words because it meant “happy.” I really liked that word.
Then the pervert supremacists ruined it.
Now they want it banned because shut up.
The operative phrase is “Malicious Compliance”
Yep. Or maybe a search with no common sense checking.
I heard about it tonight from a friend. At first I didn’t believe it. But it’s being reported across a lot of news outlets. More than enough to think it merited posting about here.
Would you brag about it?
“If a few correctable mistakes are made then so be it. “
No mistakes. Notice the article says flagged, not removed.
Typical first pass on a word search.
Gay has been culturally misappropriated by homosexuals.
