Pentagon blames ‘mistake’ for deletion of Navajo Code Talkers pages in DEI scrub
KTAR News ^ | March 19, 2025 | MADELINE BATES

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon called the removal of Navajo Code Talker content a “mistake,” vowing Tuesday to restore material taken offline during a scrub of DEI content.

The explanation didn’t sit well with Peter MacDonald, 96, one of just two surviving Code Talkers and a former Navajo Nation chairman. He objected to any implication that celebrating heroes who helped to win World War II equates with “diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Darn right they'd better correct it. They also had to restore the page of Medal of Honor recipient Charles Calvin Rogers. They better restore Jackie Robinson's. These brave men's contributions have nothing to do with stinking dei.

I wonder who they’re hiring who wouldn’t know about the Code Talkers.

It’s malicious compliance. DEI leftovers are purposefully removing those profiles to make the Trump administration look bad.

You do understand that this not Pentagon policy. Right? It’s a form of subversion by saboteurs. Malicious compliance. Find the subversives. Punish them. And, of course, restore.

Sounds to me like some aho sabotaged this DEI removal to make Hegseth and the military look bad. Find their ass and let them do a little time at Leavenworth making big rocks into little rocks.

Then they need a better spokesman because he first defended the page deletion when asked then later it was called a mistake.

Most people don’t realize that Trump won 65% of the Native American vote. 65%!

Damn right sure is.
Should be pretty simple to locate the one who made these decisions and make sure they don’t have the authority to make that mistake again.

In the Tr47 era- Far better to move fast as possible, then undo errors. Than to linger, fart around and might not get ‘er done
Fast fast fast to keep lib scammers scrambling.

In the removal of DEI and other silliness they removed the name of the Enola GAY bomber. Bet they also removed any mention of the sole survivor of Torpedo 8 at Midway, Ensign George Gay.

The Defense Deep State did this in an attempt to embarrass Hegseth.

Those responsible will be fired or reassigned to BFE.

Correct! They’ll need a full time crew to comb through and make the corrections.

Don’t you think these little errors like the Enola Gay deletion are just glitches in a massive data cleansing that would be replaced quickly when caught?

Something the left is doing very loudly and very media wide.

I really think someone is doing this on purpose to make Trump look bad. Several very historical things about Blacks, women, Code Talkers have been removed and when checked out it is discovered those stories were already part of military classes, web pages, etc. before DEI was a thing.
