Pentagon Purges Thousands of Articles About Minority and LGBTQ+ Personnel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In more military news, the Pentagon has removed or earmarked for removal
at least 24,000 articles from its website. They include historical
content on military members of color, women, and military members from
the LGBTQ community, as well as pages on Holocaust remembrance, cancer
awareness, sexual assault and suicide prevention. A page on
groundbreaking African American baseball player Jackie Robinson's
military career had recently disappeared, and then reappeared after
public backlash.
