Washington (AP) — Every day in recent weeks, the Pentagon has faced questions from angry lawmakers, local leaders and citizens by removing military heroes and historical issues from the Ministry of Defense and social media pages after cleaning the online content that promoted women or minorities.
In response, the department was returning a handful of these positions, because they were removing them. While the pages of some of the well-known veteran Peshmergas, including Bilsbol and Civil Rights, Jackie Robinson, are now available on the Pentagon websites, officials warn that many posts have tag a mistake to remove them may disappear forever.
The renovation process has been beaten or lost so much that even the groups the US administration said they were protected, such as Tuskegi pilots, the first black military pilot who served in World War II units, has not yet returned to Saturday.
Last week, Pentagon president Sean Parnel announced in a video that the mistake of removing the mistake would be corrected. He said: “History is not a dei,” referring to diversity, equality and comprehensiveness.
However, due to the large size of the military and the wide range of commands, units and bases, there have been a number of interpretations of what to be removed and how as part of the Pentagon guideline to delete the online content that promotes Dei. Military services officials have said they have asked the Pentagon for more instructions on what should be returned, but they have not yet received anything.
Officials, who are not named, spoke to the Associated Press to describe domestic audit, for example, they were waiting for instructions on whether the “first” military is considered a history that can be returned. The first substitute graduate of the army’s army reserves at Ranjar School, Major Lisa Jaster, or the first female warrior, Major General Jenny Livet, both of their stories have been deleted.
Some officials have said their understanding is that it does not matter whether the first is historical or not. If the first was based on what the defense minister was a characteristic of deprivation, such as gender or gender, it would have to go.
One of the US military teams has taken a very deliberate road.
According to officials, the team has dropped several major historical heritage sites that have held many positions on women and various ethnic or racial groups. Now they are going through all of them and they plan to re-work on a new website that focuses on army heroes and reproduce again. Officials say the process could take several months.
Overall, tens of thousands of online posts that randomly describe dozens of main words, including “homosexuals”, “bayas” and “mid” – have been deleted. Officials warn that most of these pictures are gone forever. Even as complaints enter, the authorities are vigilant against returning things unless senior leaders accepted.
Officials described the behind-the-scenes process as active, annoying and emotional shedding. Officials say the workers who walked in posts for years to talk about the historical achievements of women or minorities have sometimes been reduced to tears or anger at commanders who direct the task.
Others were forced to draw down the stories they were proud of and worked on. They were often confused about the removal parameters when a key word was discovered, and made a mistake in the aspect, according to officials.
Full non-compliance with the order was seen as dangerous because it could endanger military service leaders if a wrong celebration was left and found. Officials say the department is tied a large part of the blind — using artificial intelligence command command to search for dozens of key words online, military and command websites.
If a story or a picture depicts or includes one of its terms, the computer program added “DEI” to the title of the content of the content, which had the flag and led to its removal.
Cleaning X, Facebook and other social media sites is more complex and takes a long time. AI’s command does not work that way on these sites.
Therefore, members of the military services and civilians have assessed their posts, until late at night and at the weekend to drill the social media pages of their unit, catalog and deletion of signs that date back to previous years. Because some civilians were not allowed to work at the weekend, they had to be summoned to their whereabouts, as officials said.
The Defense Ministry openly insists that mistakes are corrected.
As an example, the Pentagon on Wednesday returned some pages that highlighted the important participation of the war-speakers of the Navaju’s code and other veterans of the American native American veterans. The move was a few days after the tribes condemned the removal. Officials of the department said the speaker’s speaking material was wrongly deleted.
Last week, the pages that respected the winner of the Black Medal of Honor and members of the US Japanese service were also returned.
Renovations represent a change in early denials and emphasize that any deletion of things such as homosexuality or visible service members occurred at all. At least two photos of the Inola, the aircraft that shot down the first atomic bomb on the Japanese Hiroshima during World War II, is still gone.

Over time, the Pentagon has changed its general answer with more examples of deleted pages.
On Thursday, Parnel admitted in a video that online: “Because of the reality of AI and other software, some important contents were errored outside the line to be reviewed. We want to be very clear: history is not dei.
But others have seen the widespread erasure of history.
“Most of the stories and pictures of female aviation disappears – including from the archives. From Wasps to Warriors, @afthunderbirds for @blueangels-they deleted us,” Carrenz, one of the first Tomcataki F-14 pilots of the navy, published in X. Or WSP, women pilots of World War II, who were important in the delivery of warplanes to the military, and the thunderbolt air force.
Parnel, Hegeses and others, despite the shortcomings, have strongly resisted large cleansing.
“I think the president and secretary were very clear about this,” Parnel told a news conference at the Pentagon. “Our common goal and our PUK is our strength.”
