If anyone is still inclined to think the government’s efforts to delete “DEI” hires are aimed at people hired for reasons other than their skills, consider the case of the Navajo Code Talkers. Pages about them have been removed from DOD websites and replaced with “DEI.”

These Americans had a unique skill that no one else possessed. Their ability to speak in Navajo during WWII created a code that no enemy ever broke. They enabled us to win critical battles during World War II. High-level military leaders said the Allies could not have won those battles without them.

And yet they’ve been cancelled. Erased. Told they were only hired because they looked different than the majority population in the US during WWII, before the civil rights movement even existed. They accomplished it all despite the prejudice against them.

Where are all the objections to “cancel culture” now? Crickets.

I am ashamed of the way our government is erasing genuine accomplishments by people who don’t look like them or fit their definition of warfighter.

I’ve chosen a conservative media site for the supporting news article to show this isn’t a deception by liberal media. The image on this blog comes from this article.
