Black Medal of Honor recipient removed from US Department of Defense website

>For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Lt. Col. Rogers, Field Artillery, distinguished himself in action while serving as commanding officer, 1st Battalion, during the defense of a forward fire support base. In the early morning hours, the fire support base was subjected to a concentrated bombardment of heavy mortar, rocket and rocket propelled grenade fire. Simultaneously the position was struck by a human wave ground assault, led by sappers who breached the defensive barriers with bangalore torpedoes and penetrated the defensive perimeter. Lt. Col. Rogers with complete disregard for his safety moved through the hail of fragments from bursting enemy rounds to the embattled area. He aggressively rallied the dazed artillery crewmen to man their howitzers and he directed their fire on the assaulting enemy. Although knocked to the ground and wounded by an exploding round, Lt. Col. Rogers sprang to his feet and led a small counterattack force against an enemy element that had penetrated the howitzer positions. Although painfully wounded a second time during the assault, Lt. Col. Rogers pressed the attack killing several of the enemy and driving the remainder from the positions. Refusing medical treatment, Lt. Col. Rogers reestablished and reinforced the defensive positions. As a second human wave attack was launched against another sector of the perimeter, Lt. Col. Rogers directed artillery fire on the assaulting enemy and led a second counterattack against the charging forces. His valorous example rallied the beleaguered defenders to repulse and defeat the enemy onslaught. Lt. Col. Rogers moved from position to position through the heavy enemy fire, giving encouragement and direction to his men. At dawn the determined enemy launched a third assault against the fire base in an attempt to overrun the position. Lt. Col. Rogers moved to the threatened area and directed lethal fire on the enemy forces. Seeing a howitzer inoperative due to casualties, Lt. Col. Rogers joined the surviving members of the crew to return the howitzer to action. While directing the position defense, Lt. Col. Rogers was seriously wounded by fragments from a heavy mortar round which exploded on the parapet of the gun position. Although too severely wounded to physically lead the defenders, Lt. Col. Rogers continued to give encouragement and direction to his men in the defeating and repelling of the enemy attack. Lt. Col. Rogers’ dauntless courage and heroism inspired the defenders of the fire support base to the heights of valor to defeat a determined and numerically superior enemy force. His relentless spirit of aggressiveness in action are in the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

Let’s say, for argument’s sake, that he was given the position he was for “DEI reasons”. Back in 1951, when he enlisted into a segregated army… Even in that scenario, he fucking *earned* that medal, and there’s no justification for calling it DEI and removing it. This is exactly what all military personnel, *especially* leadership, should strive for.

This isn’t even DEI.Why are these guys getting rid of people who have exhibited valour in wars as equally as their white counterparts?

They also changed the domain from “medal” to “deimedal”…

For full context. This is the page that his original place on the department of the defence takes you too now

When you click on it, it takes you to an error page as the page was seemingly removed. If you look at your web address for this page, it now has ‘dei’ placed in front of his medal of honor. Whether this was one of dodge’s edgy employees or a larger group of people in the government being responsible is unknown.

However, undeniably intentional

Suckers and losers should not be honored. Especially DEI suckers and losers. This administration is doing exactly what it promised to do. Soon the national cemeteries can be redeveloped. Arlington would make a fabulous golf resort. God bless the Dear Leader. /s

The orange cheetoh is such an insecure, thin skinned weasel that nothing is beneath him.

This pisses me off to no end

Just think. One day we’ll remove anything Trump from the US.

Is this known as white wash?

WHY!?

Bone spurs.

Male white fragility is the cause of this.

He’s still on the Congressional Medal of Honor Society website: https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/charles-c-rogers

I must be trippin’ because I found him on the DoD site with no issues? No URL with deimedal or anything?
