[QUOTE="Grendel, post: 1525071, member: 15821"] I guess this means I'm the only American Indian here then. Some people will never get it. Geronimo had honor and courage and nobility, all traits which OBL lacked. They could have just as easily named him Moses (okay, so maybe we only spent 10 years wandering around in the desert looking for OBL, and not 40, but you get the idea), or Jesus Christ, or George Washington, or Robert E. Lee. But they didn't, because that thought would never enter their mind. But the poor mis guided rebel Indian who wouldn't lay down and become "civilized" like all the good white Christian farmers, that one's fair game. I'm not Apache, but I did find it a bit offensive that they used the name Geronimo for any part of this mission. [/QUOTE]
