Black Medal of Honor recipient removed from US Department of Defense website
(www.theguardian.com)
I've never seen any governing body, do so much shit and reverse so much...it's almost like they are completely inept and devoid of any actual logical skills.
...or trying to get away with as much as possible and seeing what sticks.
Like raptors testing the fences.
"They should all be destroyed"
Do ten evil things each day. We can only react to so many.
Yeah it's A LOT like that.
Just like it was the first time around.
Racist fucks
To be fair, it’s kind of weird that there’s a black medal of honor in addition to the regular one.
Are there pages for all recipients or only for ones of notable record?
Asking because it would be doubly fucked if there were a full record of all of them and only the non-white ones were being scrubbed (even though it's effectively what's happening already)
The military generally considers all MoH recipients notable.
The stories are absolutely wild, too. No action movie could even touch how insane some of the battles were.
