In Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s quest to nix all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) content, some photos on the Pentagon’s website and online posts appear to be marked for deletion just because they include the word “gay”—regardless of what the context is.

One such case, the Associated Press reported, is a photograph of the Enola Gay, the B-29 bomber that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in August 1945. In the picture, pilot Col. Paul Tibbets Jr. poses in front of the plane, which was named after his mother, Enola Gay Tibbets.

    “Stupid f****t plane!” Hegseth said, between lunchtime kamikaze shots. He then led the office in a sing-song chant of “Delete! Delete!” while performing a kind of russian kick-step.

    Sources who spoke on the condition of bronymity said he then jammed his foot against the nearby cubicle wall and got it stuck between it and the wall. “Cheap ass c*********g cubic- g’s**t! I’ll f**king sue!” he said laughingly according to video posted to X.

    While waiting for maintenance workers to free his foot, he fired one of them for “looking f**king gay”. “Jerry! Beer me!” he called to Undersecretary for National Defense Strategies, Jerry O’Brien, while the remaining maintenance worker prepared a power grinder tool.
