Arrr, the DOD be hoistin' the sails on Jackie Robinson’s military tale, slappin' 'DEI' on the ol' treasure map!
2025-03-19
Arrr, me hearties! A tale of Jackie Robinson's brave naval ventures was plundered from the Department of Defense's scrolls on Tuesday and Wednesday, like a treasure map lost in a storm! Aye, even the tales of valiant pirates can be a bit wobbly, eh?
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I regale ye with a tale of the mighty Jackie Robinson, a swashbucklin' hero of the diamond and the uniform! Aye, his tale was snatched from the clutches of the Department of Defense's website, only to be restored faster than a ship in full sail. The scallywags even linked to a cursed 404 page, turnin' digital treasure into a ghostly abyss!This grand yarn, penned by the cunning scribe David Vergun, be titled "Sports Heroes Who Served: Baseball Great Jackie Robinson Was WWII Soldier." It be a part of a fleet of tales honoring valiant souls who donned armor, like Bob Feller and Hoyt Wilhelm. But alas! Our friends at the Pentagon had a bit of a dust-up over some letters—DEI, they cried! Aye, the mighty John Ullyot from the Pentagon stood firm, claimin' that such notions be divisive and an affront to the brotherhood of all who serve.
With a flourish, he declared that the DEI ship be sunk, and they be honored only by their deeds in battle, not by the color of their banners. So, fear not, for Jackie Robinson, who broke the chains of segregation, shall forever be remembered, alongside stout-hearted heroes, with a statue fit for the National Garden of American Heroes! Arrr, let us toast to the valor of our brethren, both on the field and the battlefield!
