When Drunks, Convicted Felons, and Criminals control the histories of our heroes

It's a freaking lie. Hegseth never issued such an order.

The Medal of Honor Recipient Erased in the Pentagon's DEI Purge

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military to remove diversity-related content in accordance with President Donald Trump's executive order to end diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government. Hegseth's order reportedly gave the Pentagon a deadline of Wednesday, March 5, to complete the task, but it looks as though the hasty effort had the unwanted side effect of erasing some of America's greatest heroes -- including at least one Medal of Honor recipient from World War II.
[…]
Gonsalves was a forward observer for the battalion, directing fire toward the enemy's mountain stronghold on the Motobu Peninsula, amid a hail of rifle fire, grenades and mortars. As the Marines advanced, the batteries needed to move closer to the front line to provide deadlier, more accurate artillery fire. Along with another Marine, he followed one of his officers up a hill to lay down telephone lines so they could communicate with Marines farther back.

As the group approached the front, a Japanese grenade landed in their midst. Without hesitation or reservation, Gonsalves threw himself on it. He absorbed the full blast and fragmentation, saving his comrades who all emerged unharmed.

For his actions to protect his fellow Marines, President Harry S. Truman awarded him a posthumous Medal of Honor, which was presented to his family in San Francisco on June 19, 1946.”

Trump should lose the support of every veteran.

Hunter isn't in charge anymore, dipshit.

This particular alleged "meritocracy" is stupid as all get out. Know why? Because every time they have to self-correct, backtrack, retract or rescind an memo, executive order or whatever, the pile of evidence that is being created gets bigger & bigger.

If they had any brains at all they would conduct their crimes without the transparency that allows everyone to see, if not each & every mistake they make, at least a substantial amount of them to be able to support a claim that "meritocracy" is merely a pre-text for their anti-DEI --> anti-Black American agenda.

What they're correcting are simple mistakes that shouldn't be made in the first place which is what shows that they're not demonstrating competence in the positions they hold.

How many chances should they get before getting things right?

So someone noticed and he will be put back. Not seeing the big deal here.

Lack of meritocracy is why you nor they can see or understand what the big deal is.

He was erased because this is the inneficient way government works with any mandate. "One size fits all"type actions make these mistakes. It should and WILL be corrected.

It was not done because non whites are disliked. This earns you a Fake News medal of honor. nice try though.

He was erased because of lack of meritocracy in the people in place to enforce Trump's directives.

This is what happens when you revert back to a homogenous workforce - incompetence.

I see what you're saying. You're saying that, in retrospect, we should not have a cancel culture after all.
