My thoughts include: this is a gesture honoring a heroic moment and attempting to inculcate some of that heroic mettle into a group of young men. The fact that it seems crass to some is understandable, although I do not share that view. To me, it ranks alongside the naming of teams after Indian heroes or images: many beholders find it tacky, even cruel. I do not. Some people look for evil where it is not, I am afraid. I've got bigger fish to fry.
