The Pentagon has been under scrutiny following a massive purge of webpages that celebrated the contributions of minority and women service members. This action, described as a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) crackdown, resulted in the removal of significant historical content, including pages dedicated to Holocaust remembrance, Civil War nurses, and notable figures such as Black Medal of Honor recipients. While the department has started to restore some of these pages after public outcry, it continues to defend its DEI rollback initiatives. Critics argue that the purges highlight a troubling narrative about which stories are prioritized in military history, raising concerns about the erasure of important contributions from marginalized groups.
