T&P article highlighting the removal of the history of hero’s at Arlington. As a veteran, this, in my opinion, is disrespectful & disgusting.

Current administration rewriting history?

I wonder how long it takes for this page to get Enola Gay'd by some ignorant censor.
What would be its new name?
I have a vague knowledge of these terms...USCISCOM?
USMOVEONCOM makes sense
History hasn’t been rewritten, just conglomerated. All the figures mentioned in the article are still listed, but under broader categories. Now, Colin Powell, is listed on the same page as Sheridan or Chappy James. Thurgood Marshall is still there, just under the SCOTUS category.
Like you, I agree the execution was poorly done and does reek of disrespect because it didn’t come with a reasonable explanation.
The Ebola Gay has already been through the wringer!

What harbingers of the future of public history in the US resided in the mid-1990s fight over the meaning of the Enola Gay?

To them, the cruelty and disrespect is a feature, not a bug.
It's all about shoving it down your throat...especially getting these distinguished congress people to approve some of these noms...I'll leave it at that.
This, as well as the some of the other stuff (Make Sailors Skinny Again), points to a DoD leadership team that's in over its head - something most objective observers anticipated once nominations were announced. Imagine you just took command of a squadron that's supposed to be preparing for an upcoming and arduous deployment, but instead of doing the important things, you've got the maintenance department repainting the CAG jet.
It's policy by Mad Libs (linked for the younger crowd).

I read a piece recently that essentially said that Hegseth is focusing on the same kinds of things a Company Commander would focus on, because that's really the extent of his military experience. No staff work, no joint work, no meaningful PME... basically a two or three tour JO. He's obviously not stupid, so I hope that he will learn and grow into his role. Not sure what to think of DSD Feinberg, but at least he has got some experience running a large organization and can provide some mentorship at OSD.
That's what would get him fired, but we should hope, I guess.
I’m still waiting for “Make America Affordable Again” to start as promised…. 😉🤣
…and the end of the Ukraine-Russia war.
On the acquisition side, I have a friend who has interviewed for some positions well up the food chain. He said the arrogance of the incoming is awe inspiring. They alone can fix acquisition. McNamara’s whiz kids V2.
He had good things to say about the new Secnav. Sharp and motivated.
