He's one sick drunk racist neo-Nazi bastard.
So relevant.
OK fuck Pete, but nowhere in his statement does he say he's honoring the people from that battle.
What he said was it's settled history, so we're not going back and revising things long after the fact. This isn't FIFA, after all.
Yeah, the US is run by Nazis so this tracks
Secretary of War: "This decision is final (hic)"
That's not how republics work, you're not the "final decider".
Very telling that he thinks he is.
Can't revoke the medals if the body that issued them dissolves. Fuck it, I'll take it.
It has been every administration's decision since wounded knee, or they wouldn't have medals to take.
Isn't opening fire on civilians like the most american thing ever? They open fire on protesting workers, on children in schools etc.
Excuse me but that seemed like a very rude way to describe my culture.
Not inaccurate, but maybe try rewriting it to sound like less of a smug asshole who thinks their culture is just essentially better?
These Nazis have no idea just how despicable and evil they truly are. They are under the illusion they are the good guys.
They do not think they are the good guys, they genuinely relesh in their evil. They want to be grand moff Tarkin blowing up Alderean. They want to be Darth Vader force choking anyone that bothers them.
This decision is final.
If it was that easy for him to do this it will be just as easy for the next Secretary of Defense to reverse it, but the fact that he feels the need to say this and must recognize on some level that a vast majority of people at this point hate their guts and can't wait to undo every last thing they've done is gratifying
Hegseth drinks his own piss
Well, yeah, he doesn't want any of that booze to go to waste
Hegseth isn't gonna like his place in history.
I want so badly to believe in religion because it would give me peace that monsters like him will get what they deserve. Stupid autistic brain won't let me without sufficient evidence.
It's actually well documented that part of the appeal of religion is the psychological need for justice when it's so clearly absent in the real world. It's probably part of the reason Christianity spun off from Judaism when it became clear that the Jews weren't going to get any sort of justice or revenge for their oppression by the Roman Empire. Christianity has a greater emphasis on the afterlife and otherworldly justice than Judaism does. Prior to that, the Hebrews were doing fairly well with their own kingdoms and a focus on prosperity in life rather than waiting for the afterlife was working out pretty well.
Sorry for the tangent, I just think it's really interesting.
It is! Thank you for sharing, I didn't know.
Hegseth has likely lied every single day of his adult life, plus when he was learning how to lie as a kid/ teenager.
Hegseth's only regret will be that he didn't hurt enough of the 'right' people.
He's a fucking alcoholic, and you know he lies about that to even himself, so your probably right.
If he could physically insert himself into the anus of a fat orange shit gibbon, he'll be just fine with his bitch ass fucjnutted black heart on prominent display as a DEAD FASCIST CUNT
I mean yeah, they're fucking Nazis. If there weren't cameras and the internet they'd be putting people into gas chambers.
I feel like that isn't what's stopping them.
What is?
I mean, I would not be surprised if we learned they had already started mass murdering the people ICE abducts.
Yeah, same here.
actual antifa propaganda:
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.
This decision is final. Their place in history is settled.
You are not a historian and also do not get to decide what happens in the future 💖
And he's lost every engagement he's been in, and history gets written by the victors.
Meanwhile the portrait of U.S. military's first Black four-star general, Daniel "Chappie" James Jr., was taken down from the Air Force Art Gallery at the Pentagon. You know someone who actually deserves recognition. I guess his place in history was not settled.
It is in the history that matters, ours
So the satire from BioShock: Infinite has become reality.
Man, that game started out as such a good examination and denouncing of manifest destiny white supremacist bullshit with so many good little historical details, and then 3/4 of the way through the story
.
some idiot on the writing team was like "Ooh, the black people resisting fascist bullshit seem uncomplicatedly good, we better have their leader murder an innocent child for no reason so the white main character can wisely say there are problems on both sides"
which was just some real cowardly bullshit
Bioshock 1: Let's explore and denounce this bullshit set of ideas
Bioshock 2: Actually, both sides.
Bioshock Infinite: Let's explore and deno- just kidding it's both sides again
I can't wait for this guy to be Karma's bitch.
I wish karma was real but unfortunately we live in the world where pieces of shit just get away with everything.

The comment about a Nazi regime is accurate-Hitler argued no one would care about the holocaust because no one cared about what the US did to native Americans.
I'm sure Hegseth is arranging medals of honor for the brave troops who committed the Mahmudiyah rape and murders too.
My personal opinion is that no war medal is a good thing so this is nothing more than an opportunity for this man to reinforce his imperialism.
What other ways are people interpreting this?

If you mean just war medals in general it depends on the context. If you get a medal say as a Union soldier during the Civil War for successfully repeling a Confederate assault that's inherently a good thing to have done, but war is messy so yes it involves killing unfortunately.
Getting injured as an allied soldier on D-Day is a good reason to get a medal.
Getting a medal while fighting to defend Ukraine from it's invasion is also good.
When people are fighting for a just cause its okay to be rewarded for their service.
Being decorated by any of the opposing nations in these conflicts would ultimately by bad. Even if the actions by the soldier was the same.
But worst of all being given a medal for a massacre of women and children is just indefensible
Admittedly, if you want to come at it from an absolutely pacifist worldview about giving people medals for killing, I can't disagree or refute that stance.
Thank you for sharing. My question was more about the tweet. I got the feeling people found this upsetting for a different reason than I do.
Maybe I am missing that he reversed a decision?
Gotcha, basically back at some time in the past 20 soldiers were awarded medals for their actions.
At the end of 2024, under the Biden administration, the DoD opened a panel to assess if these medals should be rescinded.
That panel reached a decision in 2025 on the matter, and decided not to revoke. This was very likely influenced by Hegseth.
Ooooooh, thank you. That makes a lot more sense.
Psychopaths going mask off for time infinity through history. We always fight the same war against the psychopaths whenever we let them back stab their way up the power chain every 60 years or so. It's always us vs psychopaths and they always go mask off when they think there's no way they can lose. We are here.
No wonder the U.S., together with the butchers from Israel, is deliberately bombing schools.
What a despicable rogue state, led by the most deranged monsters humanity has to offer—so monstrous that not a trace of humanity remains.
There was never any to begin with. If you haven't yet, you should read Kegsbreath's mother's letter to him. She paints him as the worst person. If his own mother can't find good in him, there never was any.
