Nobody who respects a Medal of Honor will respect or care if the current government retroactively takes it away.
Its like when your ex girlfriend calls your penis small. Its a worthless loser trying to act like they still have power, but they only do when you give it to them.
Like its clearly bad and all the standard opposition applies, but it makes them look so pathetic that it almost is a good thing because it further undermines their authority more and more.
It's going to have a cultural attitude shift moving forward, though.
People advocating for this don't get it. They already have trouble filling military quotas, and they're redlining trying to further insult and belittle military service. The so-called 'elites' seem to have it in their skulls that Americans showing up to fight their over-seas wars is just an assumed given that isn't even up for debate or question, when people's attitude is becoming more and more 'Fuck you, this is the governments war, and I fucking hate my government'.
I think that shift is basically already done, and nothing the Elite are willing to do will undo it. Like, enlistment is dangerously low already and nothing short of literally shooting vets on their way back is going to make it drop faster than it is already going (as those still signing up likely are too ignorant or without other options to care).
Until the day an invasion hits American soil, the Elites and the government are the ones who suffer for this and the consequences it brings further.
Its not like we benefit from sending some of our best men to get riddled with PTSD and disabilities in some worthless proxy war with no gain to our economy. That ceasing to happen might actually help us in small ways.
