Congress seeks to rescind Medals of Honor

[Couchpotato]

It sends a message to our Native Americans that we no longer celebrate the slaughter of their people

Who was celebrating these men? How much do you want to bet that 99.9999% of Native Americans were unaware of these idiots existence?

Yeah, because that was a very important message that hadn't quite got across yet.


It also send a message to look the other way while the entire country burns to the ground

Fine.

Any reason why these fucking idiots decided to do that now, 140 years later, in the middle of a serious economic crisis and potential collapse?

Maybe they're trying to distract everybody.

Their numbers must look bleak. They're taking an ass kicking in November.

What economic crisis bills are waiting to be passed?

The downfall of this country is going to be the unwavering desire of some to assign the morals and ethics of today to things which happened 100 or 150 years ago.

We should just be able to acknowledge that the times are very different, and what was acceptable back then may not acceptable now...

great post

Exactly. What the fuck are these idiots doing?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Good thing congress doesn't have more important things to worry about. smh

If they are doing dumb shit like this they cannot mess things up

Listing them as Medal of Honor reciepients is celebrating them

This is the only acceptable answer.

None they are too busy fucking around worried about 20 guys who no one knew got CMoH's 150 years ago.

By all means, stop that 150-year-old, nobody-give-a-shit "celebrating."

No it isnt. They were celebrated 150 years ago. Not yesterday. And this law wont change any of that.

 

[whitehall]

Ok. Again glad we have nothing else to worry about than some dead people who got medals that no one really cares about. Tell me how many CMoH were awarded during the GWOT era without looking it up. And name 4 of them. You cant because it's not something 99% of people give 2 shits about. Hell I dont know and I was on active duty during the entire GWoT. Renaming post offices has more relevance than this. 4 not named Kyle Carpenter or Dakota Meyer.

Gone with the wind (GWTW) era?

Congress is proposing to rescind Medals of Honor awarded to 20 soldiers who participated in the Wounded Knee Massacre

Long overdue for rewarding Genocide

Ho-hum...

My "Don't Give-a-$hit" meter is redlined...

It's what happens when Neolithic hunter-gatherer-nomad "culture" meets a highly advanced technologically (vastly) superior culture.

Nature de-selected The Weaker over a span of three or four centuiries.

We have turned into an unserious society. Worried about medals from 150 years ago and pronouns and all the like. If you wonder why countries like China and India are closing the gap and passing us it's because we are focused on dumb shit like this and they are focused on math and science and making their youth stronger. We are worried the kid who says he's a cat wasnt affirmed in that belief.

Wait, are you saying the federal govt did wrong??? A DEMOCRAT saying the Federal Governement was wrong........How fucking SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!......Next thing you'll tell me is the Indians needed to give up guns and bows, considering Indians did do mass violence..........

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

What other irrelevant, unnecessary bullshit can we busy Congress with to keep them from further fucking everything up?
