    Pete Hegseth leaves no wounded soldiers behind.

    No no not like that he doesn’t give a shit about soldiers soldiers, I mean he always finishes all the beers left out at the end of the party.

      I heard he also smokes all the cigarette butts left in the ashtrays down to the filters. Honestly sounds like a reasonable post-party cleaning service if you don’t mind nurturing him back to health after his bender.

    Revoking medals of honor is dumb performative bullshit. The people who got those medals are long dead, the “indian campaigns” have concluded. You want to make amends for the past? Maybe try addressing the material conditions of the present for native and non-native citizens alike. Start with universal healthcare and ubi. Implement wealth taxes to keep social security solvent and lower the retirement age to 55.

    Execute the shambling ancient congress-people who were alive when those atrocities happened.

      You can address the material conditions of the present for native and non-native citizens while keep remembering people of the crimes of the past . Such refusal is a proof that what you ask would not happen

      Yes and this is a sign that Trump will keep kidnapping and disappear the native American. If someone don’t care about the people they oppressed in the past they won’t in the present and in the future
