References to the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan during World War II have been flagged for removal in Pentagon documents as the Department of Defense purges references.
In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B aircraft Enola.
Images of "Enola Gay," the aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan are among those targeted by the U.S. military in an initiative to eliminate content related to diversity.
The military is purging tens of thousands of photos from its online presence, for the purpose of eradicating any and all content related to “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” and that includes photos of a World War II aircraft called the Enola Gay seemingly because, yes, it has the word “gay” in it.
