Wounded Knee medals decision by Defense Secretary Hegseth sparks outrage in Native communities

This could be controversial, indeed! It is advisable for Pete Hegseth to reconsider and carefully evaluate! The Wounded Knee Massacre may well qualify as an exemption.

"Native American communities that had long wanted the removal of military honors for the soldiers involved in the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre had their hopes dashed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ...

“The era of politically correct, overly sensitive, ‘don’t-hurt-anyone’s-feelings’ leadership ends right now at every level,” Hegseth said Tuesday to hundreds of military officials at a ceremony. The defense secretary announced new directives for troops that include “gender-neutral” or “male-level” standards for physical fitness and painted a picture of a military that has been hamstrung by “woke” policies.

The pivotal massacre of 1704 in Deerfield, Massachusetts

On the the myth of the Noble Savage!

"In the dead of winter on the American frontier, Mohawk, Abenaki, and Pennacook warriors, climbing snowdrifts, slipped over a protective palisade surrounding the tiny English colonial settlement of Deerfield ...
James Swanson’s new book, The Deerfield Massacre, brings to life the English frontier colonies. Swanson creates a terrifying retelling of the raid and explores the complicated history following the attack, which occurred 320 years ago, on February 29, 1704.

Forty-seven inhabitants of Deerfield, mostly children, lost their lives in the raid. Another 112 people were taken captive. Half of those hostages were children. The prize captives were force-marched three hundred miles to Quebec in the dead of winter. Those who could not keep up were executed by club or tomahawk, including Eunice Williams. Eighty-nine survived the march. Of the survivors, many, like Williams’s own daughter, chose to stay among the Iroquois to marry and live as Indians, losing their English language and religion. ..."

Vergleichen sie mal Hans-Dietrich Genscher und Christian Lindner! Damals hatte die FDP noch Politiker von Statur! 

Diese mutige Geste von Genscher hatte ich fast schon vergessen!

"Wie sich doch die Zeiten und mit ihnen die handelnden Charaktere ändern: Im Zuge des Attentats der palästinensischen Terrororganisation Schwarzer September auf die israelische Mannschaft während der Olympischen Sommerspiele 1972 in München wurden neun israelische Sportler als Geiseln genommen. Der damalige Innenminister Hans-Dietrich Genscher bot an, sich selbst im Austausch mit den Sportlern in die Hand der Terroristen als Geisel zu begeben. Dazu kam es nicht. [Die Terroristen lehnten ab] ..."
