WASHINGTON – Signals refer to the honorary medal in World War II, which is the Enola Gay plane that dropped a atomic bomb on Japan and the first women pass the marine infantry training among tens of thousands of pictures and online posts that were placed in deletion where the Ministry of Defense works to disinfect diversity, shares and additional content, according to what was obtained from the base by the press associated with it.
The database, which is confirmed by US officials and published by AP, includes more than 26,000 pictures that have been marked to remove through each military branch. But the total in the end can be much higher.
One of the officials, who occurs provided that his identity is not disclosed to provide the unpublished details, said that the disinfection could delete up to 100,000 pictures or leaflets in the total, when considering social media pages and other websites that are also executed for the Dei content. The official said it is not clear whether the database has been completed.
Defense Minister Beit Higseth gave the army until Wednesday to remove the content that highlights the efforts of diversity in its ranks after President Donald Trump’s executive, which ends these programs throughout the federal government.
The vast majority of Pentagon cleansing target women and minorities, including prominent landmarks in the army. It also removes a large number of publications that mention the various memorial months – such as people, black and Latin women.
But a database review also emphasizes the confusion that moves between agencies about what Trump should be removed.
Aircraft and fish projects have been marked
In some cases, the images seemed to have a sign of removal simply because its file guarantees the word “gay”, including members of the service with this last name and a picture of the B-29 Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.
Several pictures were marked by the California Army Legion’s bulldozer project, apparently because a local engineer in the picture had gay family name. It was a picture of the biologists in the army weapon on the list, apparently because it stated that they were recording data about fish – including their weight, size, all their gestures and gender.
In addition, some pictures of Tuskegee pilot, the first black military pilot in the country who served in the separate World War Unit, were included on the database, but they are likely to be protected by the historical content.
The Air Force has briefly removed new training courses that included videos of a Tusky pilot pilot shortly after Trump’s order. This angered the White House on “malignant compliance”, and the Air Force soon reflected the removal.
Several photos listed in the database are already removed. Others were still visible on Thursday, and it is not clear whether they would be lowered at some point or were allowed to survive, including pictures of historical importance such as pilots.
In response to a question about the database, Pentagon spokesman John Ullewat said in a statement: “We are happy to quickly comply across the department with the direction of the DEI content from all platforms. In rare cases where the content is clearly removed, we direct the components accordingly,” said a question about the database.
He pointed out that Higseth announced that “Dei has died” and that the efforts made to put one group through Dei’s friendship programs and threaten the implementation of the task.
Some pictures did not disappear
In some cases, the removal was partial. The home page was removed in a post entitled “The History of Women’s History: The crew of all females has been removed. But it is still possible to reach at least one of the pictures in that group about the female C-17 crew. A snapshot of the army’s army weapon was deleted entitled “Pioner Pioneer, which was remembered during the month of black history.”
Other photos that were marked at the database but are still visible on Thursday pictures of air services pilots in World War II and a US Air Force pilot Jenny Levitte, the first fighter pilot in the country.
It is still visible for PFC at the time. Christina Fuentes, Montenegro, has become one of the first three women to get out of the Marine Infantry Battalion and a picture of the honor medal in the marine leg. Harold Gunsalvis.
It was not clear why some other photos were removed, such as the image of the Marine Corps entitled “Deadlift Contenters Reside The Bar Pound by Pound” or a picture on the national web called “Minnesota Brothers Reanite” in Kuwait.
Why database?
The US official said that if a database is created 26,000 pictures to comply with the laws of the federal archive, so if the services are inquired in the future, they can show how they comply with the law. But it may be difficult to guarantee the archiving of the content because the responsibility to ensure that each image is preserved is the responsibility of each individual unit.
In many cases, workers make footage of the pages that bear the sign of removal, but it will be difficult to restore if this decision is made, according to another official, like others who spoke on the condition that his identity is not disclosed to provide additional details that were not general.
An official at the Marine Corps said that each of its photos in the database “either has been dropped or will be dropped.” The official said that the Marines move as soon as possible, but as with the rest of the army, civil employees or Pentagon contractors can make content removal.
In a marine infantry weapon, only one civil defense is available to do the work. The Marine Corps estimates that the person has identified at least 10,000 pictures and stories to remove online, and after another review, 3600 of them were removed. The total does not count more than 1,600 social media sites that have not yet been addressed.
Many of these social media sites were military support groups or a unit support unit that was created for years and left inactivity. No one has administrative privileges to enter and change content.
The marine official said that the service is going through every site and gets new administrative privileges so that it can make changes.
On February 26, the Pentagon ordered all military services to spend countless hours in obtaining years of site publications, photos, news articles and videos to remove any signals “enhance diversity, fairness and integration”.
If they could not do this by Wednesday, they were told “temporarily removal from the public screen” all the content published during the four years of the Biden Administration.
