My Take
Robert Bales is one of the hardest profiles to write about honestly. The medals on his record sit alongside something that cannot be softened, and I won't pretend otherwise. What I take from his story is a sobering reminder that decorations and service do not make a person whole, and that a man capable of duty was also capable of terrible harm. I have no interest in glorifying him. I include him here only because erasing such names also risks erasing the people who suffered. Remembering uncomfortable truths is its own form of respect, and I think it matters.
