Pete Hegseth Stamps Out One USAF DEI Mutiny but Others Await

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the US Air Force to return training modules about the Tuskegee Airmen and Women’s Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, to the basic training curriculum. This training was reported as canceled Friday, an alleged casualty of President Trump’s anti-DEI executive order; see The Air Force Seems to Have Decided to Use Malicious Compliance to Fight Trump’s DEI Order – RedState.

The Air Force said Sunday that videos about the famed Tuskegee Airmen and a unit of pioneering female aviators would be restored to the basic training curriculum for new recruits beginning Monday.

In reporting on the videos Friday evening, the Express-News cited a memo in circulation among Air Force personnel.

According to a screenshot of the memo, it said three videos were being cut from a basic training course on “airmindedness,” a term for the habits and values the Air Force seeks to instill. One was a video on the Tuskegee Airman. A second was titled “Breaking Barriers,” and a third was about WASP, the memo said.

In addition, a video on diversity was stripped from a human relations course for trainees, the memo said.

As I noted in two posts, the USAF signaled last week that it was going to fight a guerilla war against Trump’s order disbanding the military’s DEI infrastructure; see Has the USAF Decided That It Will Keep DEI No Matter What the Commander-in-Chief Has Ordered? – RedState. This culminated in the Tuskegee Airmen-WASPs kerfuffle Friday. That was no misunderstanding; it was clearly aimed at labeling an executive order designed to keep the federal government from engaging in racial tribalism and grievance-mongering as racist. None other than Texas’s favorite anti-America Marxist, Joaquin Castro (naturally, right?), was standing by to proclaim it “white nationalism at work.”
