I’m Indian and a veteran. I can tell you she’s not a real Indian. I say the Medals should stand. It’s not her and the others place to take back.

there never should have been honors given for such dishonorable acts, but it’s going on a hundred and fifty years now, and I think those troopers have gone on to receive their true rewards in hell by now... making a publicity stunt out of it now helps no one.. that said, I’m glad that the history of that horrible incident has been corrected, and no one today honors those soldiers.

Now, if we could just correct the history of the War of Northern Aggression to reflect some truth——————

It depends on what the medals were for. However, I have never heard of the MoH being given for massacring women and children, but only for unusual courage under fire.

If we suppose that the campaign these men were sent on was unjust, it still would not negate their courage if they acted above and beyond on that campaign's behalf. Heck, knowing what we know of the globalists that infest our government now, we have to ask ourselves how many of our military ventures since WWII were just, especially those recently in the middle east, in one of which I was a participant. If none were, should all MoHs be rescinded?

I would say hell no, because the medals are awarded for courage and action which go beyond what one might expect of a regular man, in a circumstance that was not of that man's making, regardless of whether he understood the "true" nature of the campaign at the time. A warrior is called and he does what he must.

The idea of rescinding these awards is merely a continuation of the effort to revise the history of the US so that there is nothing for current Americans to believe in or respect. F that.
