The Longest War in U.S. History : Information Clearing House - ICH
This writer does not mention COCHISE. Therefore he does not know history!!!
The Longest War in U.S. History : Information Clearing House - ICH
The Longest War in U.S. History
By Ryan Harvey
October 12, 2015 "Information
Clearing House" - "teleSur"
- Though it has been a long 14 years, it is historically inaccurate
to call the war in Afghanistan "The Longest War in U.S. History."
This title reveals a deep-seated problem in the popular mythology of
U.S. history – that the nations and assemblies of peoples that
existed here before Europeans came were not sovereign, or even real.
Let's get the facts right:
There was a 30 year-long war from 1860-1890, spanning many nations,
led by the U.S. government against "insurgents" who populated what
would become Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, and the Dakotas.
Part of a larger, longer genocide, this was one sustained war, which
looked unsurprisingly similar to today's campaigns in
Afghanistan/Pakistan.
Fought by the U.S. Army against the Apache, Cheyenne, Navajo, Sioux,
and other nations, this war saw resistance armies, led by Geronimo
and Sitting Bull, give birth to the guerrilla warriors like Crazy
Horse and Little Wolf, and saw the introduction of
"counter-insurgency" tactics by the U.S. Cavalry. War crimes
abounded as the United States systematically eradicated the buffalo
with the intention of depriving the guerrilla warriors of food, to
bring an end to their peoples and nations, and to steal their land.
