minus-squarearrow74@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 days agoGotcha, 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 At the end of 2024, under the Biden administration, the DoD opened a panel to assess if these medals should be rescinded.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. https://southdakotasearchlight.com/2024/07/24/defense-secretary-orders-review-of-wounded-knee-massacre-medals/ https://southdakotasearchlight.com/2025/09/26/medals-awarded-for-wounded-knee-massacre-wont-be-rescinded-hegseth-announces/
