This is who the Republicans want to see in every nook and cranny of America:
Photos of the Enola Gay World War II bomber, Black military pilots and the country's first female fighter pilot are among the tens of thousands of images flagged for removal by the Pentagon in an effort to eliminate references to diversity, equity and inclusion.

If he was alive, Chuck Yeager (seen in "The Right Stuff') would be proud. This redneck West Virginian test pilot who broke the sound barrier did his utmost best to prevent ANY men of color from becoming astronauts in the 1960s, directly contravening JFK's desire to combine civil rights with the nascent US space program.
