Let's just outlaw the English language. It offends too many people.

It looks like an effort to erase Native Americans from world history. Without a name to remember them by, they will truly become a forgotten people.

We are surrounded by idiots.
They are called "liberal media".
Not to be confused with just plain old dumb ass liberals.

We name our tanks after great American Generals. I do think we should name the next helicopter The Honkey. We name our ships after states.

Well, what about all those Army posts named after Confederate Generals? Lee, Hood, etc. Isn’t that ‘racist’?
To: Second Amendment First
I know some Comanche who were upset that RAH-66 did not go into production; they felt like their tribe was not being honoured with a combat machine.

We did to the Indians what they were trying to do to each other. We are, in sum, the best thing that has ever happened to Mankind period.
Indians WERE often as brave in battle as Men can be and as such are worthy of Tribute in the minds of Men who understand Human nature in battle.

So should lots and lots of presidants, admirals, US cities and States be offended at having ship named after them? Should various general be mad that they had tanks named after them? No. It’s a sign of respect. That’s why there is no US helicoper named Hitler.

You have got to be kidding. Honoring great warriors is now an insult? Or more likely, a reason for empty headed holier than thou “liberals” to feign offense on behalf of others. Bunch of posers.
