  • From Wikipedia

    A number of the citations on the medals awarded to the troopers at Wounded Knee state that they went in pursuit of Lakota who were trying to escape or hide. Another citation was for “conspicuous bravery in rounding up and bringing to the skirmish line a stampeded pack mule.” Another medal was awarded in part for extending an enlistment. One citation was just “bravery”.

    It is very clear what message Hegsheth wants to send here, and it is not that catching a pack mule is “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty.” The massacre at wounded knee is one of the darkest chapters of our history.





  • It’s hardly a revelation, but no-one should stop you to ask if you’re a citizen either because of the other 4th, the 4th amendment:

    The Fourth of July 4 means independence. You have your freedom to do whatever you like, unlike many others under occupation in the Middle East. So what you feel here, you feel free and proud. You can start your car in New York, end up in San Diego or San Francisco, and nobody will ask you, “Where the hell are you going?” or “What’s your name?” I have seen [inland U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints] in California and Arizona. You just stand by, really. You get stopped, they ask, “Are you a U.S. citizen?" and then you keep on going. It’s not even a line for two minutes, unlike military posts in the Middle East.
