Sedalia Dave Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Why Army Helicopters Have Native American Names AR 70-28 was eventually rescinded and replaced with policies that didn’t mention that criteria, but it’s clear that the tradition has continued. You only have to look back to 2012 when the Army named its current primary training helicopter, the UH-72A Lakota, after the Lakota tribe of the Great Sioux Nation in North and South Dakota. On June 10, 2012, Lakota elders ritually blessed two new South Dakota Army National Guard UH-72A Lakotas at a traditional ceremony on the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota. Ceremonies like these happened often over the past several decades. So when you think of these helicopters, remember the spirit, confidence, agility, endurance and warrior ethos their names evoke! Two members of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation dance in traditional attire around a South Dakota Army National Guard UH-72 Lakota helicopter after a blessing ceremony for the aircraft on June 10, 2012. The South Dakota National Guard and the Lakota Nation have partnered together to support the people living on the reservations and to help inspire the youth to become active members of the community.

Native Americans are 100x more patriotic than the liberal bed-wetters are, despite the fact that they got screwed over while the libs get everything handed to them for free.

If you poke around fb there are plenty of non Native Americans complaining. Fortunately the msm sees picking on the Military as bad for ratings.
