The Pentagon is deleting over 26,000 images and history of women and minorities, warriors that have served meritoriously in the armed forces. Absurdly, photos of the Enola Gay, a superfortress named after the pilot's mother, were removed, because her middle name.
And tragically an estimated 15,000 transgender military members have been given notice that they are to be discharged.
On January 20, draft dodging Trump rescinded Biden-era policies that cleared the way for transgender people to serve openly in the military. A week later, he instructed the Department of Defense to update its guidance on transgender military service, effectively barring transgender people from service.
The administration is now facing a federal lawsuit, and U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, signaling that she would block the ban, accused the Department of Justice of “unadulterated animus” or prejudice, hostility, and spiteful malevolent ill will toward transgender service members.
For prosperity's sake, here are some of the service members that Trump has ordered discharged. Thank you for you're service.
