Some words the U.S. military is dropping from its vocabulary: dignity, respect, history. https://www.tpr.org/military-veterans-issues/2025-02-28/u-s-military-removes-words-history-respect-dignity-from-digital-presence-as-part-of-dei-review

U.S. military removes words 'history,' 'respect,' 'dignity' from digital presence as part of DEI review

The Department of Defense issued a Digital Content Refresh document to comply with DEI removal from the armed services. TPR obtained a document laying out the guidance of what to remove.

@heidilifeldman
You know you are as a nation in serious danger if your military is left without "dignity" and "respect".

So much so that even their "history" has disappeared and been forgotten, which would have shown them what their predecessors died for.
For the very democracy they swore to protect against *every* enemy, and now, by following that order, handing it over to an authoritarian asset of Putin.

Nothing less.
What a shame.

@grootinside @heidilifeldman Acceptable words will include "kill," "Herr Fuhrer" and "sieg heil."

@BruceMirken @heidilifeldman Probably. Or like obey, don't ask don't tell.... Interesting that there is always only the list of forbidden words published. 🤔 ...never the internal one an army gets.
