The term 'Terrorist'.

The killing of and herding of native indians onto the reservations that sat upon worthless lands is and was an atrocity of the highest order. My best friend in the Army was a Navajo indian and I was able to spend some time out on the reservation. It's still 100 years behind.

I do not debate that the resettling of the Indians was bad, but to claim that we intentionally used smallpox was a little over the top.

Are you trying to lay blame as to why the reservation was behind on the times? That one I would love to hear.

This is ridiculous, Cool Hand. Did you take history lessons in school? Do you recall what year that was? They were rebelling against the established government. Hello?

I have to think back to my graduate level courses on American History.

Rebelling against an established government is not the same as being a terrorist. Aren't democrats currently rebelling against a Republican government? Does that make them terrorists? According to your thinking, yes.

Right.

By the way, you never answered my question: have you ever or are you currently serving in the military?

Sorry, but your comments belie a serious lack of education and independent thought.

Yes I am, ask browha if you do not believe me.

What would lead you to think that?
