Summary
The U.S. Department of Defense removed the webpage honoring Maj. Gen. Charles C. Rogers, a Black Vietnam War hero awarded the Medal of Honor in 1970.
The page now returns a “404” error, and its URL was changed to include “DEI.” Rogers, the highest-ranking African American to receive the medal, was awarded by President Nixon in 1970 for heroism during the Vietnam War.
The deletion follows Trump’s efforts to roll back DEI initiatives in the federal government, including an executive order terminating diversity programs.
The Defense Department has not commented on the removal.
His Wikipedia page which details the events that led to his being awarded the Medal of Honor.
I hope this absolutely enrages every military member, but especially every non-white military member. This is a slap in the face.

now think about the quality of men (e.g. old bonespurs and the fauxnews taking head) that are dishonoring him and so many others.
I’m ashamed for having served this country. It feels like I helped these fuckers do this by putting in the uniform.
My brothers and sisters in uniform, the actual people, deserve better than this. We’re watching our family of millions get destroyed with the only hope of salvation being literal mutiny. Slap in the face doesn’t even begin to describe the pain these fuckers have caused.
