Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth just deleted the history of the “Go For Broke” 442nd Infantry Regiment from the Army website as they eliminate any mention of race or gender.
The 442nd was formed for Japanese-American heroes. They were awarded 21 Medals of Honor, 4,000 Purple Hearts and 4,000 Bronze Stars for as they defeated Nazis, liberating Italy and France and freeing Jewish concentration camp survivors from a Dachau satellite camp.
History of the Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ WWII unit removed from Army website
As a Japanese person living in the U.S., I am eternally grateful to my ancestors who set foot in this country, worked tirelessly to earn recognition as citizens despite facing both individual and systemic discrimination, and bravely fought in the war to defend their adopted homeland and fellow Americans. Their sacrifices and perseverance paved the way for people like me to come here and live a good life.
To erase such a significant part of their history - their effort, sacrifice, and legacy - from the Army website is, in my opinion, an act of arrogance and a profound disrespect toward those who fought so hard to help "make America great."

I’ve started watching the WWII #movie #GoForBroke, based on the story of the 442nd composed of Japanese-American soldiers and available on YouTube. And yeah, it’s a war movie about the U.S. Army and I’m sure I’ll be rolling my eyes a lot as things go on, but I’m interested in the tensions of their situation and there are some genuinely clever, fun moments! Spoilers in thread.
