Baseball legend served in US Army in second world warSimilar moves have been made in attack on DEIAn article history detailing Jackie Robinson’s military career has seemingly been taken down on the Department of Defense’s website as a purge of articles considered to be related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) continues.Robinson, who Donald Trump last month described as helping “drive our country forward to greatness”, is widely considered a national hero in the US.
