Revoking medals of honor is dumb performative bullshit. The people who got those medals are long dead, the "indian campaigns" have concluded. You want to make amends for the past? Maybe try addressing the material conditions of the present for native and non-native citizens alike. Start with universal healthcare and ubi. Implement wealth taxes to keep social security solvent and lower the retirement age to 55.

Execute the shambling ancient congress-people who were alive when those atrocities happened.

You can address the material conditions of the present for native and non-native citizens while keep remembering people of the crimes of the past . Such refusal is a proof that what you ask would not happen
