Am I crazy, or does the justification for the repeal try to make it seem like The Red Fleet was given full credit for this operation, but in the text it just says that they participated in it. So for the one example I can kind of verify with text, makes me feel like this was a fake "got ya"

Essentially what it's saying is that the Red Fleet claimed they did more than they actually did, and used the commendation as a way to try and cement their lie in the public consciousness. (This is also where the self-commendation thing comes into play, which is just a general breach of etiquette.)

Isn't it enough to be consistently against Nazi's and fascists to be commended? I think so, that is why I am against this repeal.

Commendable in the colloquial sense of the word, sure. But a "commendation" is a very specific thing on NS; it's not just a general "hey, you're doing good." It's more a Most Valuable Player award. It's saying the user or the region did something exceptional within NS that deserves recognition. This is where I have to reiterate that it really isn't anti-left wing in any way; it's simply a matter of "this commendation was written in bad faith by a jerk, and we don't want that to stand."
