I tried it and got the same page. I searched his name on DoD and got the SAME article. I couldn’t access the original one. I typed in by hand the same address without the dei addition and Safari just corrected it and sent me to the dei one. I can’t find anything about him. Frankly, I grew up on this side of the fence, DEI and affirmative action were always understood as unqualified minorities taking spots of other qualified or more qualified people. The logical reality was white men. It wasn’t “people” since the only “people” involved were generally white men, of course, there are some screwballs who think “people” are only white men, but that is a whole other ball of wax. It is entirely racist. It was meant to be racist…well…and sexist too.

I included the link to the archived page of the article on Rogers and another article about him by the same journalist. The DoD can't completely erase the man and his legacy.

Yes, thank you! We are history. It is actually up to us to remember, to speak about such people and events. And when it is hidden from us, we can speak about that to those who would wish to extinguish people, places, and beings. We can remember them too so we can talk about what not to become. And I can’t like anything on this platform! But I love your comment. Ha!

I find this utterly repulsive. If there was ever any doubt about the racism and white supremacy embedded in this administration, its recent actions erase it completely. Trump has always been a racist—from the civil rights lawsuits to the Central Park Five—his record is clear. The sheer amount of damage he and his enablers have inflicted on this country in just a few short weeks is staggering, almost beyond belief. Worse still is the eager complicity of those sworn to uphold the Constitution. Their cowardice doesn’t just betray their oaths; it borders on treason.

I can only hope to live long enough to see this nightmare end—to see those responsible held accountable, to witness new laws and constitutional safeguards put in place to ensure this never happens again. And to the Evangelicals who backed Trump, claiming it was God’s will, I wish you nothing but spiritual reckoning. You did this.

Warren, try Bing or DuckDuckGo. I found that last one on the latter. There are ways to quickly remove things from Google that are not as easy on the other two, especially DDG.

With the aid of the racism of the short=fingered vulgarian and Apartheid Baby, and their hatred of women, Hegseth will do his best to erase everyone from the records that is not a White Male. He made it quite clear during the pandemic, that he prefers to have dirty hands.
