A leaked list revealed that thousands of photos, including those of notable figures like Black soldiers and female military crews, were targeted for removal. Critics swiftly condemned the move, highlighting its absurdity and potential erasure of important military history. Voices from various sectors, including celebrities and political commentators, voiced their discontent over the anti-DEI initiative and the implications it holds for representation in the military.
