U.S. Air Force reinstates Tuskegee Airmen training videos after removing diversity content
The U.S. Air Force has reinstated training videos featuring the Tuskegee Airmen after a brief pause to remove diversity-related content. This decision comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth begins his tenure amid ongoing efforts to eliminate diversity mentions from military training. Previously, the Air Force had removed these videos, which also included content on the Women Airforce Service Pilots, leading to criticism from various groups. The Air Force stated that no trainees would miss this instruction due to the revisions. Hegseth, confirmed by the Senate, emphasized a focus on military readiness and indicated that further executive orders regarding diversity initiatives and troop reinstatements are forthcoming.
