The year 2023 didn’t turn out great for everybody, especially for one Joe
Abodeely—who had his life’s work closed down due to his own stupid,
hateful and discriminatory words.

Abodeely is a Vietnam War veteran who has been the curator of the Arizona
Military Museum in Phoenix for the last four decades. Only recently was he
forced to step down after the museum was closed permanently.

More from the Arizona Republic:

The letter said Abodeely also used profanity on the tour, called “all
Americans” stupid, and “told the members of the tour group that they knew
nothing of the realities of the Vietnam era because they were too young,
brainwashed, stupid, duped, uneducated, or uncaring.”

That conduct was “unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” the letter
read.

Abodeely has nobody to blame but himself. Shortly after the letter went
public, he was ordered to go through diversity, equity, and inclusion
training by the Arizona National Guard.

Yet still, despite the warnings he was given, he continued to make more
hateful statements. In an interview with a reporter, he allegedly claimed
that a mannequin of a soldier with a “hand on its hip” was meant to
represent gay soldiers, according to the Arizona Republic

As a result, Abodeely has stepped down as the curator.

Even though the war vet is no longer involved with the museum, it’s still
going through some tough times. For the last couple months, the museum has
been closed due to state support being removed.

The Arizona National Guard is currently looking for someone else to run
the museum and has plans to open it again to the public in the future.
