You can't make this up.
******
The AP reports that it obtained a database that shows
that the Defense Department has flagged over 26,000
photos and online posts on its website for deletion —
because the administration has determined they have
some kind of correlation to DEI.
The AP noted that some of the images slated for
deletion were still visible as of Thursday. An
anonymous official who spoke to the outlet did mention
that it’s not clear if the database has been finalized.
It’s also unclear from the AP’s report if artificial
intelligence was involved in determining which images
were flagged.
Some of the selections for deletion are concerning. The
AP reports that among the images to be axed are a photo
of U.S. Air Force Col. Jeannie Leavitt, the country’s
first female fighter pilot, and photos of the Tuskegee
Airmen, the decorated Black military pilots who served
in a segregated WWII unit.
Yet perhaps the most laughably egregious flagged image
is a photograph of the Enola Gay, the World War II
aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima,
Japan, in August 1945.
Although the pilot who flew the Enola Gay — Col. Paul
Tibbetts Jr. — named the plane after his mother, Enola
Gay Tibbets, it seems it’s on the department’s chopping
block simply because the plane’s name contains the word
“gay.”
When the Enola Gay tidbit made its way onto social
media Thursday, users on BlueSky and X, formerly
Twitter, couldn’t help but laugh. Then cry. Then post
their snarky responses online — which you can read,
laugh and cry about, too, by scrolling down. (at the

26,000+ photos disallowed?
They put an AI bot to it. They are too "busy" to do it
themselves, although there is nothing in DOGE's
behavior to demonstrate those "operatives" would know
the difference.
