One day, this comment will hopefully have aged like milk. What a sappy baby.
If it doesn't, it will be because the US collapsed in on itself in an unrecoverable way
It is his final decision. Not the final decision.
Early on, Medals of Honor were passed out like candy. In the Civil War, a unit of men was awarded for actions that took place after they demobilized. In 1917 an Army Medal of Honor inquiry stripped 911 medals from the "undeserving". This includes the only female recipient, who was a surgeon in the Civil War and POW after she crossed the lines to treat civilians.
Whiskey Pete’s new ideal soldier:
He likes his privates smooth. Smooth and strong.

Don't let congress see that. Mike's Johnson would be standing to attention while he phones his son and asks him to tell him that he's a bad man
Damn at this rate Murica bout to launch war on melanin.
The country is being run by people who are indistinguishable from the 13yo edgelord boy who got banned from your Call of Duty server for overusing the n-word
Not at all. The 13-year old is a hormonal brat that doesn't have the years under their belt. They're still growing and learning how their actions affect others. They should know better, and often do, but we give leeway to children because fucking up is part of growing and learning.
The men and women currently in charge have no such excuse.
....How many soldiers who were at Wounded Knee are still around today? 🤨
None. This is naught but virtue signalling
Vice signalling
WarCrime: the only beard oil/supplement subscription service for real patriot warriors
Beards are woke now
The juxtaposition of this statement is fantastic. Many Republicans have beards even after they shave their faces ;3
I love the "if you want a beard, become special forces" comment.
The only acceptable beards in the US Armed Forces are the ones attached to the legal south american drug cartel stationed at Ft. Bragg
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown, and A Cry From the Heart by William Sears should be required reading in sophomore year.
These are the guys that played Bioshock Infinite and missed the point.
They run the place now.
Hands way too large in this image mate
it is just a perspective trick, they are too close to the lens. they are as small as ever 😆
The Nazis aren't even pretending anymore. I remember arguing with someone online long ago when I was younger who spouted mysoginistic comments. I don't remember his exact comments and words but I told him those views are Nazi views and then he threw the usual "you can't call someone you disagree with a Nazi". But he repeats some of Nazi-like slogans, anyway, in caps clock. I kept calling him out on it and retorted that that he'll wear the insult like a badge of honour, even though he implicitly insists he's not Nazi but throws Nazi-like slogans anyhow.
I was bewildered why would he say he's not a Nazi but says Nazi stuff anyway. Looking back now and where the world is heading, it was their psyops attempt to inject Nazi and fascist ideas to re-normalise them, while putting plausible deniability through bad faith arguments, during the time when it was very much taboo to be openly fascist. Now, they are coming out of the woodwork because Trump first enabled, then allowed them.
MAKE NAZIS AFRAID AGAIN
The trick is that it both is and isn't. For all the places where these clowns lack substance, these are the core ideas, playbooks, and slogans they adhere to. The names and branding are thrown away, that's all. It's all Nazism with the serial numbers filed off.
wiki/Wounded_Knee_Massacre#Medals_of_Honor
"For this 1890 campaign, the U.S. Army awarded 31 Medals of Honor, 19 specifically for service at Wounded Knee.[7][8][56] 18 were awarded in the months after the massacre, and two more awarded in 1893 and 1897 respectively.[57]"
Why weren't these medals pulled 100 years ago?
Because when troops fuck up, you can either own it or give them a medal and call it a win.
It's very common, there's a lot of highly decorated war criminals out there
A series of more or less planned events over generations.
To be fair, I am almost certain that Pete here doesn’t actually know what happened at Wounded Knee. He knows there was a ‘battle’, and that there were ‘Injuns’ involved. Probably was that some patriotic Americans defended themselves against the savage natives, like in the cowboy movies! Those cowboys deserve their medals!
Of course, now that the US secretary of defence has tweeted his ignorance on a social media platform, there is no taking it back, or apologising for his misunderstanding. He can only double down and defend a massacre.
Nah, he knows. It's about drawing outrage because that's the only thing that wins them credit any more with their base.
Yep this is the same bullshit as renaming bases after random privates with the same name as confederate generals to change it back, just keeping up the brand consistency
Anyone know where the graves of these soldiers are? I wanna piss on it
Is this the new distraction?
got crucified by believers, and Liberals washed their hands off the innocent murders.
But yes, this is how the “Protect the Children!!” party actually praxis: Gunning them and raping the corpses.
Yeah but come on, be real, slaughtering little children is hard work, you get tired, sweaty even, and they won't even get a medal for that?
Wooooke
We are witnessing the fall of man. Us Europeans are surrounded on both sides by absolute madness. We're just trying to live our lives here, goddammit. I wasn't counting on this type of world for my kids when we were starting our family in 2018. Fuck, if I knew then... I don't know what we would've done.
What a profound way to finally receive comeuppance for the colonial era. To be flanked by the madness Western Europe's imperialism cultivated in the world for centuries. I can't think of a more poetic outcome. Its beautiful almost in a tragic way.
If this message is from Eastern Europe please disregard.
Northern Europe. Far north. It's poetic in a grand sense, spanning time and space, sure, but when you look at the countries now, we're not trying to start any shit. Just trying to do the best by our people in a democratic and peaceful way. I dunno wtf Israel, USA, whatever tf countries in Asia and Africa are trying to do by all this murdering and fascism...ing. "Just be nice." Right? Not that hard. 😩
There is no more honor in American institutions until we “reform” them .
Wounded Knee is too good for that pig.
Obliterated Knees.
Is Jesus fucking Christ incest or masturbation?
Selfcest.
depends, Christ is the family name, so if it's himself then masturbation, otherwise incest
Masturbation, by technicality.

How should the influence of the Democrats be judged? Were people on the panel exchanged or influenced?
