This appears to be due to an auto-removal process and will be resolved soon. According to Grok:
🔹”The Defense Department clarified that Hayes' page was taken down inadvertently by an "auto removal process" rather than a deliberate targeting of his story. On March 18, 2025, officials announced they were working to restore the content about Hayes, a Pima Indian and one of the iconic flag-raisers at Iwo Jima during World War II. While some related pages may still be in the process of reinstatement as of today, March 19, 2025, the commitment to restore his information has been publicly affirmed.”

▪️There is an article currently up on the VA website about Ira Hayes, “The Hero of Iwo Jima” so it’s either been resolved or was only a partial delete in the first place.

▪️It seems highly doubtful “Trump had him removed” because of DEI, much more likely it was a clumsy attempt by an algorithm to sift through millions of web pages and flag content that backfired.
It’s funny to see the left use the same conspiratorial rhetoric as the right did a year ago regarding the jobs numbers being downwardly revised. So many on the right, who knew nothing of how the jobs numbers are calculated or why they revise them, were convinced the downward revisions were a conspiracy to help Biden win.
If people want to have a debate about the birth death model or the survey methods, ok, but that’s not what’s happening here. Most people are under the delusion that the BLS report is the govt reporting every job created and lost, and are thus easily swayed it’s rigged when it suits their political ends.
This is almost laughingly misleading, as it leaves out everything before the letter.
▪️After being repeatedly lampooned by the Smothers Brothers over Vietnam, Johnson finally had enough. One night at 3 am he called the head of CBS William Paley, demanding that he “get those bastards off my back.”
▪️Paley then asked the heads of CBS entertainment to get them to back off of LBJ. However, instead of backing off the Smothers Brothers doubled down, booking a folk musician performing “Waist Deep,” an anti-war song about a soldier being stuck in the mud while “the big fool says to push on,” clearly a dig at LBJ.
▪️At the last minute, CBS cut the song from the pre-taped show to the outrage of the Smothers. They continued to push the boundaries off and on for the rest of his presidency, with CBS sometimes cutting segments that they thought went too far. Basically, it was a soft form of censorship.
▪️It wasn’t until Johnson made his surprise announcement not to run in 1968 ...
