sort of like there was never a civil war or Confederate States of America. Their flag is banned everywhere and history is being rewritten by the Politically Correct liberal idiots.

These liberal fools have nothing better to contribute to America....it speaks volumes. Useless bastards...that can only make trouble for others.

The DemocRat platform...just keep attacking problems that do not really exist.

While we are at it; I would suggest that we rename the EPA the “Green SS”, the IRS could be renamed the “Internal $$ and one of my favorites, the BLM can become the “T-SS”. It’s for the turtles after all.

This line shows that this buffoon has no concept of what we in the military honor:

If the native tribes did not stand a chance, this does not imply lack of resistance or of courage; regardless, it doesn’t much matter in this context. Whatever courage they had, the U.S. military is not heir to it. If honor matters to the members of our armed forces, they will agree.

Honor does matter and we honor those who fought bravely against us. That is our, undying honor to those with whom we have faced on the field of battle.

My rototiller has a 1938 Tecumseh engine on it and I only live about 30 miles from Tecumseh MI.

Thank goodness that those of us who are not white, have sniveling, liberal whites available to tell us what should offend us....

While you’re right on, libtards will have us believe that all “Native Americans” lived in peace, harmony, tranquility and established a utopian society that excelled in mathematics, sciences and human evolution.

No diseases, no killings, all one with nature. I’m not kidding either.....

Without a name to remember them by, they will truly become a forgotten people.

IIRC, the HMS Beagle (unforgotten because of Charles Darwin) was of a class of ship named after an American Indian tribe.

Mr. Waxman has his work cut out for him...

So what are going to do, outlaw anything that references a Native American, because there is a whole lot out there, probably more than imaginable. Or do we just want large entities to pay up enormous sums of money...

I believe that US Military has already stopped using American Indian terms for exercises. Under Bush43, maybe.

Why do we name our battles and weapons after people we have vanquished?

Do we have Rebel drones, now?

Honoring the warrior is exactly right. I dread anything being named after the head of this administration. Getting sick at the thought.

The destruction of the Indians was asymmetric war’

Oh screw off you victim of collegiate thievery. The warfare wasn’t asymmetric. Both sides were fighting in many instances.

You were robbed by your college. You paid them good money and you were given a wholly inadequate education. It is criminal how they robbed you.
