    History is the collective and you’re welcome to revisit that. I’ll help and probably agree with most of what you write about that.

    But these medals? That’s not history. That’s individual sacrifice, and those are earned independent of whatever asshole is in charge at the time. We shouldn’t be messing with those.

      Those poor racist fuckers had to sacrifice ammo into children’s bodies.

      You fucking idiot.

      They’d be deserving of a medal if they had actually sacrificed something. Like disobeying the order of massacring women and children on grounds of their conscience and getting court-martialled for it. That would be worth a medal.
