Last week, an assistant undersecretary at the VA sent a truly absurd memorandum, directing all VA health facilities to remove the iconic photo of a sailor kissing a nurse the day victory over Japan was announced in World War II.

The memo was so absurdly over the top that it looked like it might be fake:

But the VA confirmed the memo was authentic and said Secretary Denis McDonough officially rescinded it yesterday – after the story became public.

Here’s the AP headline:

We wonder if the photo had been a man kissing a man whether the Biden Administration would have found it objectionable! Almost certainly not.

We are living in very strange times.
