Conservatives are cheering over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s decision to nix all culture-related events and celebrations.

As part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), the Pentagon announced Friday that the military will no longer waste “official resources, to include man-hours, to host celebrations or events related to cultural awareness months.”

This means no more celebrating National African American/Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, National American Indian Heritage Month, etc.

“Installations, units, and offices are encouraged to celebrate the valor and success of military heroes of all races, genders, and backgrounds as we restore our warrior culture and ethos,” the guidance continues. “We are proud of our warriors and their history, but we will focus on the character of their service instead of their immutable characteristics.”

  The job of the military is to protect minorities and various other groups, not be part of them.  The military isn't supposed to be about celebrating individuals or small internal groups, it's about celebrating all members as one group.  The Army calls it the Army of one.
