Fox News apologized Saturday to a Gold Star family for publishing a false story last month claiming that the family had to pay $60,000 to ship the remains of their fallen relative back from Afghanistan because the Pentagon refused to pay.

What kind of dystopian hellscape do you guys live in that ‘gold star families’ is a concept?
Good little proles, you threw your child in the belly of Moloch for our profits, you get a gold fucking star.
I dunno, ask the folks in WWI why they created it.
It’s slang. Families used to put a blue star on their house. If they had a member who was deployed. The star would be changed to gold if the family member was killed in service.
