Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez was a West Point graduate. While serving in Iraq, she was killed in action by an I.E.D., the first black female officer in U.S. military history to die in combat and the first female graduate of West Point to die in Iraq.
The video documenting why she chose to serve in the Army and in combat has been deleted by the Army under the Trump Administration.
Erasing her from the collective memory of America will not be tolerated. - Mel Tansill
By all accounts, Emily, who was KIA in Iraq about a month and a half after my oldest son Ryan, was what we in the military would say was “high speed.”
Sickening, those taking these decisions shall be held accountable...
@BrianJopek Republicans own this
@noplasticshower @BrianJopek
...and the Iraq War that killed her.
Think about that for a second.
Draft dodging hero erasers will not be tolerated.

For all the hand-wringing and pearl-clutching they do over the troops and the unborn, they've made it abundantly clear that they do not give one single shit about anyone but themselves with Project 2025.
We need to mirror this info - ideally before being deleted. Space Karen & The Cowboys can go to hell.
Yeah, I think we’re past the time now where an alternate set of sites need to go up if they haven’t already been organized already to preserve all this precious history from the barbarian arsonist running the White House
@BrianJopek We need to raise a stink. They tried the same crap with Maj General Rogers information, but people spoke up & it was restored.

I’ve been thinking a lot about these removals and restorations.
They don’t restore until they’ve been confronted and then they pretend it was a ‘mistake’.
But it wasn’t a mistake. It was the intentional removal of Black valor.
I want to dig into why: why do these people feel threatened by Black courage? By Black heroism?
It can only be because, when these men and women are held up, those little white racists do not compare, on any level.
@Remittancegirl They absolutely don’t but honestly It’s like leaving Hillary and Hellen Keller out of those text books in TX. Some of it I to be abusive toward people they consider liberals. And really now to distract us from even more evil BS. @BrianJopek
@BrianJopek private heelspurs strikes again
@BrianJopek Alt-text suggestion :
- Emily Jazmin Tatum Perez, in full formal dress, holding a sword and a hat.
Trump and his thugs are racist, sexist pieces of shit. That's why
@SaftyKuma That, and they want us upset about how ugly they are so we have less energy to deal with what greedy fucks they are. @krutor @BrianJopek
@BrianJopek More honor in her pinky finger than in the entire current administration.
In Lincoln's line, "beyond our poor power to add or detract"
This was done to anger us, the living.
@BrianJopek
Duty, Honor, Country. All the way and then some.
@BrianJopek
Very sorry for your loss. Your son's service is something we are all grateful for.
Thank you for sharing this. I know about the famous people who have been deleted but pretty much nothing about individuals who are being treated like dirt.
These Republicans are just vile.
One can only ask why ... but I guess it is a power thing of "Look what I can do" ...
Somebody once said something about gone to hell in a handbasket ...
@BrianJopek As I have said elsewhere, NOTHING screams my dick is sooo small I have to masturbate with tweezers like being anti-DEI and taking it out on veterans.
@BrianJopek
That she was used as a tool in an illegitimate expansionist Project for a New American Century debacle makes it all the more tragic.
All the current shit was in full swing with #Bush and #Cheney #NoFairRememberingThings
@BrianJopek They just can’t stand anyone smarter, braver or more noble.
@BrianJopek
To this European this rewriting of history is truly shocking 
@BrianJopek If white #fascists like #Trump and #Musk have to delete people like her, it's obvious she was superior to them in all senses.
She fought and died for the #USA while #Trump is a coward and got a fake medical certificate to avoid the military service.
What pisses me off is the military allowing this to happen. They say they swear allegiance to the constitution and not the a man... It doesn't look like it.
Let's see what will happen after he is gone, if all this will be re-uploaded.
Senior officers have very rarely ever disobeyed an executive order. At least it’s never been documented since the Civil War.
The president would just replace any who disobeyed. The military won’t save us. They’ll do whatever the president directs
@nilsskirnir @BrianJopek It certainly looks like the US is on the way to another civil war... Maybe a military coup is in order.
@WittyDragon @nilsskirnir @BrianJopek This wanton erasure of history is only going to make it harder to recruit from a diverse population. I am afraid that if the military changes leadership that the new recruits will be radicalized incels that will have no problem with attacking and murdering civilians and protestors, especially minority, LGBTQ, and women.
@profdc9 @nilsskirnir @BrianJopek #US soldiers have already been involved in many cases of abuse. Now, it will be just standard practice - like rape in the Israeli military.
@WittyDragon @profdc9 @BrianJopek
Plus the whole selection process for senior and general officers pretty much guarantees that they only get the ones who will obey
@WittyDragon @profdc9 @BrianJopek
The US Military has pretty much raped its way around the world.
Especially bad in Asian countries.
The book noted below has good summaries of some of it.

@BrianJopek God damn these people.
@BrianJopek I wonder how the people who served with her feel about this? I get the impression many military folks support trump because of the tough guy projection he gives ( and those of us in reality know it's fake)
@BrianJopek She probably didn't care, but it's bizarre to see that even in the 21st century, women's military dress uniforms were just slightly modified from men's uniforms. The sleeves, for instance, look big enough to hide a small dog in. Because they just took the basic uniform that fit over her bustline, and then maybe took in the collar a bit and maybe shortened the sleeves. I wonder if it's still that way.
@BrianJopek how can you Seppos put up with this sort of disrespect! Have you no honour or pride? Why should we in the rest of the world look up to you?
@BrianJopek These erasures of Black Men and Women of Valor is sickeningly petty, thought up by weak men with small minds.
@BrianJopek This is the first time I've been angry enough to react publicly. The monsters that are doing this need to have a cranio-rectal inversion.
@BrianJopek Bigots will always try to delete history. It's on us to keep them accountable.
Deleting stuff like this from the internet is merely the modern version of burning books.
All heil the #nerdreich ....
@BrianJopek this is false. Her story and her bio are still on Army.mil.
This was a copy/paste of false information on Facebook. And you re-quoted it. Nice confirmation bias.
The post clearly references a VIDEO that was scrubbed, you f
cking lemming.
Y'all *always* project.
"Last month, Hegseth ordered the services to scrub articles, photos & videos that promote DEI within a week, which resulted in the removal of the wide variety of content.
The senators found it especially unacceptable that Arlington National Cemetery scrubbed information about Black, Hispanic and female troops from its "Notable Graves" website."

Now if Brian had referenced that specific news story instead of crap copy pasta THAT would have been useful information…
Typical jackass response tho… I’m not a lemming - I could find zero to support Brian’s copy-pasta off of facebook.. in fact I could not even find THIS article.
Sounds like *you're* the one suffering from confirmation bias, then. Stories like this aren't hard to find- just takes a search.
Buuut instead- you blew through the post and shot off about it being fake news, because YOU probably saw someone on facebook call it that.
"The first female Army Reserve graduate of Ranger School and first female fighter pilot both had their stories deleted."
*At best* you're an ostrich, head buried deep in your ass.

People like you actually make me WANT to be a Trump supporter….
@BrianJopek
All this is being done by a couple of cowardly military service dodgers.
@BrianJopek
Those who wonder about evil in the world?
It’s a living, breathing entity…
It takes hold…overwhelms you w/fear…
& births suffering from…
Cowardly…dangerous-damaging-racist battle!
See receipts.
We must draw on our ancestral, warriors spirit…
They are the essence of “The Home of the Brave…”
Not us!
We will hold Dem leader’s to account…
“Regulators Mount Up!”
West Point isn't some country club Ivy League school --- Look at those stripes on this soldier's arm. This is a serious, dedicated soldier.
Not some "dei" bullshit.... she EARNED her spot. Earn each of those stripes
You will not see billy bob from Tennessee doing that
It's criminal they are trying to erase her and it's FUCKING criminal that #WestPoint would allow this to happen
The commandant of West Point should be marched out and made to answer for allowing this to happen.
