Having spent 13 months in the Republic of Vietnam I can tell you first hand War is not honorable.

A lineman from 9th Engineers, running wire out to our hill, was captured, tortured and mutilated from that day forward , all illusions of codes of conducts and humanity seemed to end. The sweeps to find Charlie became very vicious. And Charlie got better at making and placing his mines, which were horrific. Dozens of our men were cut in half or decapitated. It seemed like we lost a couple of our friends every day. We were all insane with fear and hatred. It was after this operation we earned our nickname,’ Di bo chet’ from Ho himself, meaning,’ the Walking dead’. We just weren’t buried yet.

Honorable ??? Obama a warrior President ? He will sell out our troops as quick as LBJ did.

Semper Fi.

Born in 1943, I watched a lot of cowboy movies.

Indians were ALWAYS warriors and this was considered honorable.

Only following the Anti War grandstanding over the Vietnam war was being a warrier culture considered “not PC”.

Thankfully, 2 Gulf wars, and Afghanistan, have revived war as honorable, aside from the Far Left.

Some of this has rubbed off on President Obama, who is continuing as a Warrier President, despite the bleatings of some of his Leftist base.

In the Tradition says that Comanches served in WWI as well, 58 of them to be exact. In fact, several served as code talkers then, in WWI. In the Tradition even names two of them, Hezekiah Chebata and Owen Yackeyonney, with photograph.

Thus, In the Tradition demonstrates more “Comanche” research than even the recent book, Comanche Code Talkers, by William C. Meadows (University of Texas, 2002). Meadows claims there is scarce evidence that any Comanches were used as code talkers in WWI, and he concedes only the term “telephone operators,” or “communications operators” (pp.28,29) with vague references that some Comanche language was used in the last months of WWI. This appears belittling to the WWI Comanches.
