I knew that was coming the first time I heard the target referred to as Geronimo. "It is devastating and terrible for the children" lmao. We must shelter and protect anyone from anything that might even remotely hurt them in any fashion.

I'm so glad politicians still have such important crap to talk about.

Why do they assume 'Geronimo' was the code name for Bin Laden?
I thought it was either the code name of the group of Seals that went in or, the mission accomplished or, the command center.
Why do people say 'Geronimo' when they jump out of a plane?

"Jackpot" was the name of the mission. "Geronimo" was the code for "we nailed the bastard".

So, Geronimo was not the code name for Bin Laden?
Seems to me the N.A. Indians should be proud to be associated with this mission.
It's all about 'context' right Brian?

I love the internet.
Growing up in southern Arizona, to me the Apache resistance was astonishing. Yes, they knew about water the US Army didn't know about. But it was often "sip springs". So named because there was enough water collected in the spring in a really wet year for a sip or two. And they survived in these conditions and they made the Army look really bad. It was their land, damn it.

Sounds to me then, that 'Geronimo' would be a good code name for a suicide mission.
Yeah, except Geronimo lived through it. Died in years later. And made some sort of a living with Buffalo Bill's wild west show for a time.

Geronimo from what history I recall was a leader of the indians who were out for revenge and the retaking of their land. A leader who had finally managed to get the tribes together but too little too late. Geronimo was eventually captured then made a public mockery of before he was released and later went to wild bill's show.
It was a fine codename and osama should be happy about having such a codename were he still around to enjoy it.

I wonder how they would feel if the final kill was named "Trail of Tears"...
“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)
Maybe American Indians who are offended by this should pour themselves a tall frosty mug of get The Fuck Over It Juice...

Yea he summed it up well, a lot of things could be summed up so easily but people like to write a book on the pc end.
