Not to get way off the reservation here, (bad pun, I know) but the Indians did not fight according to the Marquis of Queensbury. They were brutal and really did earn the title “savage.” That did not come from their pagan beliefs, but from the brutality of their attacks.

The media has us all thinking they were Chief Dan George, or the “Clean up America” Indian guy.

Geronimo was a bad dude.

Osama was a bad dude.

I guess we could have called him Tojo.

The “Clean up America Indian guy”, Iron Eyes Cody, turns out, from what I’ve read, to have been a Sicilian.

AT least they didn't take scalps as a business enterprise - to sell. (The gov't paid pretty good.)

My point was clear. They were fighting for their homeland. And since you probably know history you know that we gave as good as we got.
