Why in hell would anyone want to spend (give the government) $75 for a frikin silver medal priced over 3 times spot? Maybe uncle Joe, since he probably would’ve forgotten what the spot price is. See, I’m trying to be urbane.

Today you can’t even mention politics while wearing a uniform. I guess if he took off his gubmint issue attire and wore the suit of the peasants he could run. Wonder what his platforms were. No, not his shoes. You see gen z and alpha, there used to be a time when people used ideas and solutions to solve America’s problems and they would preach these while standing on soap boxes or back of trains. And people voted on who they thought had the best idea. The 14th amendment would have helped him as no southern officers would be allowed to run and just plain foot soldiers were unknown, therefore, unpopular and wouldn’t win. I can’t think of hardly any non black CW participants that history mentions that weren’t officers. Davis, Lee, Jackson. Unless you count the dude that dropped the war plans and gave the north a huge advantage.

Nah kidding. Wow. Harvard and a civil rights lawyer (the then modern day Ben crump) and coin released during BHM. Man oh man, the trifecta, get yours now before quantities are sold out.
