This is infuriatingly disrespectful… just fucking sickening.
They already scrubbed Ira Hayes.
What the fuck are they gonna do next, rename every Army helicopter?
They are all either officially named, or given an… official-unofficial name, after native tribes or chiefs as a sign of respect for their determination, tenacity and ferocity in combat.
Blackhawk.
Chinook.
Kiowa.
Little Bird.
Shawnee.
Choctaw.
Cheyenne.
… and the Commanche and Arapaho, though those never went into full scale production/adoption.
The Huey is actually named the Iroquois, it’s just that its original designation of UH-1 got … nickname-ized and became more prevalent.
This was the page that described what I am talking about with helicopter naming conventions.
… they literally just affixed ‘dei’ to the page’s name, pointed the old page to redirect to this dei- affixed page, and are then manually refusing to serve anything with dei- affixed to it.
… anger noises …
If you wanna see a full list well I guess now you gotta go to wikipedia because Trump and Elon are racist fuck sticks.
We are losing so much more than we realize this very moment. This is the true moment, not the election, when we decide if we want to move forward to a world that celebrates our differences, or one that imprisons us because of them.
