The defense department webpage honoring an army general who received the country’s highest military distinction for his service in the Vietnam War has been taken down. The page for Major General Charles Calvin Rogers featured Medal of Honor information and was accessible online before being removed. The removal coincides with the Trump administration’s efforts to roll back DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) efforts in the federal government. Critics argue that this could be an attempt to erase African American history and military achievements within the government.
