I really don't think the USA was threatened with destruction by the native Americans.

Read Dee Brown's heartrending account of the ethnic cleansing of the native Americans [Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee ] to find out how the vast majority of the native American tribes were cleared from the east of America by about 1830.What happened to those people??

The Israeli zionists would like the same solution for their Palestinian problem which is why the Palestinians need world wide support.

By the way ,how inapprpriate for the US military to name one of its attack helicopters after the "apaches" who were implacable enemies of US military in the south-west of America in the 19th century.
