He added that the helicopter names were “propaganda” that needed to end, because Native American life expectancy statistics indicate the “violence is ongoing, even if the guns are silent.”

Isn't the name an obvious* homage and compliment to their abilities to kick arse? I mean, we wouldn't name a military attack chopper after something weak or pathetic.
