America's role in WWII is too "woke" for the current administration.

The lead-poisoned DUI hire is gonna keep everyone safe by deleting pictures with the word "gay" in the filename. Everyone can sleep soundly at night now.

DUI hire for sure. He, RFK Jr. and a lot of the other crew in this disgusting administration all look and act like absolute aliens. I saw a picture of RFK recently and dude looks like a fucking warped tree.

Omfg. That's impressively stupid.

Yup, the military is above all infatuated with tradition. Fucking around with that is.... monumentally stupid

So you are saying a Gay dropped the atomic bomb and won the war? Holy shit no wonder they want it wiped from history, they hate the gays.

There's no way this isn't the onion. REALLY?

Incoming executive order to rename it "Enola Happy (of America)"

I like how they are absolutely terrified of anything remotely related to "gay" or "diversity"

[–] TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Could definitely have a more informative title that’s still as “what the actual fuck”

Targeting the plane that dropped the bomb that won the war because it had gay in the name is fucking insane. Named after a woman? DEI. Gay? Double DEI.

It's uncanny how this plane that delivered such unparalleled destruction now stands a chance as being a symbol for love.

It's probably a little bit of redemption for the pilot's mother who the plane was named after.

It's a milestone of stupidity for the administration, most likely not the last, though.
