Here's the announcement - media.defense.gov - which is actually pretty nuanced.
Wounded Knee was an unholy mess and there's no question fleeing Lakota were pursued and killed far from the site of initial action. So even by the standards for awarding the medal in effect in 1890, the question revolves around behaviors of those 20 recipients that day in December 1890. The frontier army itself was divided at the time about the whole Ghost Dance campaign, and especially what happened at Wounded Knee. The medals may have been a way of trying to end that discussion.
Some folks evidently need a refresher course on the Holocaust. I'd suggest viewing, in its entirety, Claus Lanzmann's epic Shoah (en.wikipedia.org(film)). Or pretty much anything by Primo Levi and/or Elise Wiesel. And tie it together with Christopher Browning's book Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland. Would also r3commend the film Conspiracy. It's about the Wannsee Conference. There is also Die Wannseekonferenzan earlier German language film on the subject, also excellent. Both films are rooted in and based on the single surviving copy of the minutes of that meeting.

Consider his ambitious plans for missile defense: "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. ... They've only got 17 seconds to figure this whole thing out. Boom. OK. Missile launch. Woosh. Boom."
Or his suggestion that injecting disinfectant could fight COVID from within.
Or his mathematically dubious analysis of the job market during his Republican convention coronation speech: "107 percent of jobs are taken by illegal aliens."
We could go on.
One of the most effective presidents in modern history just dropped his reelection campaign over fears of cognitive decline. Polls suggest this was the correct choice " that Americans in crucial swing states no longer saw Biden as capable of realizing his promise of normalcy.
With Biden's exit, we hope those same parts of the country will remove the wool from their eyes to see the obvious truth about Trump.
Thanks for posting that.
