Pentagon Pete Is ERASING American Heroes

Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon is deleting pages, photos, and training materials tied to Black servicemembers, Tuskegee Airmen, and heroes like General Daniel “Chappie” James Jr., the first Black four-star general in U.S. military history. The same Pentagon quickly reversed course after political backlash over labeling Mormons outside the Christian umbrella, but pagans, humanists, minority faiths, and erased Black military history are still left behind. Chappie James broke barriers from segregated Pensacola to NORAD, and Hegseth’s culture war cannot be allowed to sand that legacy out of America’s memory. Ring of Fire's Josh G. discusses.
