#1 Geronimo was a hero? Didn't that guy make his name killing civilians?

#2 Loretta Tuell, said it was inappropriate to link "one of the greatest Native American heroes"

Just like Nathan Bedford Forrest is a great hero to numerous Southerners. So, will they rename some schools and public buildings with his name? Or would that be 'insensitive' to others?

#5 I don't understand why we ever offered any specifics about the mission in the first place to a politically correct nation that lives in a frickin bubble. Witness those with their panties in a wad over 'shooting and killing an unarmed OBL', or 'are burials at sea islamic'? Who cares? It's war and he was a douchebag. Why didn't we just say: 'OBL is dead. All other details are classified.' Exasperating.

#6 The ONLY reason Apaches ever get po'ed is because they didn't get an invite to the fight. Along with a bunch of the other Indian warrior tribes, just about any excuse will do to get in a brawl.

They did get quite po'ed when Pershing led the expedition into Mexico and didn't invite them. When they protested, the War Department tried to be diplomatic and said they couldn't provide either horses or guns.

"No problem. We'll bring our own." Pershing, who had fought Apaches years before, finally agreed to bring some scouts. He later brought some to France with him in 1916.

#7 Re Procopius: Shelby Foote references N.B.F. as the only six syllables that struck fear in the hearts of the Union Army.

#8 It's war and he was a douchebag.

It may not be Snark of the Day, but it deserves a Plain Talk Award. And I'm stealing it. Thanks!
