    They also changed the URL where it said ‘metal’ to say ‘deimetal’ in case you’re wondering how racist the motivation was.

      “Medal” I think, not “metal”.

    How is the US military taking this?

    President Imaginary Bone Spurs so eager to be racist that he’s openly disrespecting war heroes. Pretty interesting conflict of ideology.

    Because that’s what it boils down to. Paint a minority that holds little to no power as the source of problems for a group so that group attacks the minority instead of the wealthy and powerful that are their actual cause of suffering.

    A Medal of Honor Recipient bucks the narrative that ‘blacks are stupid, self serving above all else, lazy, and near animalistically impulsive.’ Can’t have that.

    If the military would comply to this, will they also comply to invade Canada, Panama, and Greenland?

    History is written by the winners, changed by the losers. RuSSian asset Trumpovic and his lapdog Muskler are pathetic losers.
