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.
Friendly reminder that Trump described military personnel who got captured or killed in action as “suckers” and “losers”. He and his lackeys have zero respect for military honor, bravery, and sacrifice.
he specifically said i dont like captured or dead people.
All these things are barely applicable to the USA in Vietnam war.
