Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.
The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
