I saw this on Wonkette this morning, and got a good laugh with their treatment of the Enola Gay aspect.
They’re just pathetic, little people. I can’t believe they’re being allowed to do this.

Hi Ali. Yes they are pathetic in what they really are trying to accomplish. But I remember when I got to Germany in the 1980 I was required to attend classes on the Nazis and what they did in Germany. A big part of that was the book burning and the complete destruction of the Institute of Sexology. This is what the right wing was trying to do with book bans and trying to erase LGBTQ+ kids from school libraries. Sadly history is repeating itself. Hugs

I forgot to mention that I wonder if under straight cis only Pete Kegseth if such briefings would be given now to new military into that country. How far we have fallen simply so some people can now feel comfortable using the “n” word. Hugs

Honestly, I gotta wonder if it’s code one of Musk’s kiddos wrote. Surely a human would at least check with someone about the WWII plane, and some of the other items that have flagged syllables. I get that even Musk may not know what the Enola Gay was, and likely is too high on his ketamine to bother reading, but he’s not doing any of that work himself, anyway.
That said, yes, I bet there are some rude directives issued by Hegseth.

Hi Ali. I read a bunch more on it. Seems they wrote a search program for dozens of words including not just gay or trans, but also gender, woman, but using male / men are still OK. Here are some good links on it. Hugs
From the NY times. Here is the list of words they are trying to purge. I hope this pastes well.

Army Deleting Online Content Related to Women, Minorities Using Key Words Like ‘Respect’ and ‘Dignity’
Ali sorry the list of words made this reply so long. But you see what they are trying to do. They want to rewrite history to show that only white males were heros and military leaders. We knew Hegseth was a notorious white supremacist woman hater. Hopefully we can win the congress in 2026 and stop some of this purge. Hugs
