No mistake, they only want white men to remain in history. First they erase every different from history, then they try to erase everyone else in the present.

Like it mistakenly removed content related to Enola Gay? Where Gay was the last name and not the sexual orientation because there is no distinguishing nuance in a blanket string removal?

I'm surprised the DOD has the ability to say anything with trump's dick so far down their throat.

They're not thrilled about what's going on. At least, not all of them. At least, not the ERDC.
