Apache helicopter? Isn’t that derogatory to Indians? Maybe rename them George Floyd helicopters...You know, to show how much we care.

The "Huey" helicopter famous in Vietnam was actually named the Bell UH-1 Iroquois. Then there was also the Black Hawk, Chinook, "H-13 Sioux" famous in Korea, and UH-72A Lakota, among others.
On June 10, 2012, Lakota elders ritually blessed two new South Dakota Army National Guard UH-72A Lakotas at a traditional ceremony on the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota. Ceremonies like these happened often over the past several decades. So when you think of these helicopters, remember the spirit, confidence, agility, endurance and warrior ethos their names evoke!
