This in itself shows a lack of honor, and gallantry in any way, and I for one believe in the personal honor of the individual man, and woman. ...And an act which defames the name of honor, which is ghastly and disgusting, and devoid of morality should not call for any kind of award at all, let alone one of honor.

Truly a disgusting part of U.S. Government history. Rescind all 23 of the 7th calvary medals of dis-honor now! And make reparations to the descendants of those who were slaughtered!

This massacre should never be called a battle in US history.

Lawlessness cannot be enshrined -- it is against American values and interests.

This is an historical disgrace and the soldiers acted dishonorably. There is no remedy other than to remove the "honor" that was bestowed on the the perpetrators of these dishonorable acts.

We have the same inexcusable stains on our history in Australia even if there were no medals for them. It's time the 'victors' owned up and accepted responsibility and started a serious (as opposed to the current lip service) process of redress - whichever country you're in. Rescinding these awards would be a step in the right direction.

It is a disgrace these murderers were were awarded medals for the atrocities that took place at Wounded Knee..It is only right that these medals should be withdrawn to honou those that died needlessly..

War crimes & genocide are not to be rewarded or rejoiced in. Its time to honour the honourable and honour the truth. Removing the medals from historically dis-honourable soldiers & psychopaths is a respectful step forward, towards decency.
