    Though I don't believe selling replica medals is wrong, and actually I have more of an issue with the sale of the real ones, I do find it distasteful, and ironic, that they should be selling a medal that was awarded to so many non-white soldiers.

    Leaving aside who is selling them, the claim of them being fakes is also bad reporting. A fake implies that there is an attempt to deceive by claiming it is real. These, and others, are do no such thing

    Just sad that such bravery has been dragged into such sordidness.
