"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

3/ were a direct reaction to it. The redeployment would at least need to have been in the planning stages before the White House meeting. And the timing could be a coincidence entirely, at least in terms of this narrow set of events. Needless to say the intelligence provided by those aircraft …
