Geronimo was not the code word for Osama, it was the code word to acknowledge that the target had been eliminated.

In WWII it was the code word for jumping out of airplanes.

Somehow American Indians had thicker skin in the 1940's

“In WWII it was the code word for jumping out of airplanes.”

I’m told that Apache warriors, when leaping off their horses to engage U. S. Cavalry troopers in certain hand-to-hand combat encounters, would yell “Airborne troop!!”
A dubious tale, I suspect.

It happens to every culture that has been subsidised by the tax dollars of hard working people other than themselves.

Started with the Indians. Really took off after WW II.

Continues to worsen to this day.

You need to work on reading comprehension. It's clear in the opening lines it was specifically the codename for bin Laden himself, not for the operation or any action taking within the operation.

In an administration obsessed with racism and multicultural sensitivity this was tone deaf stupidity!

Bush would've been criticized, why let Obama off the hook?
