Should the U.S military stop using Native American names for aircraft and missles?

First the Redskins, now the military's preference for Native American based names for missiles, rotary-wing aircraft and missions is coming under fire.
What are your thoughts?
Is it disrespectful gloating or a sign of respect?

I see this as yet another example of Political Correctness not being checked by common sense.

PC SUCKS and is just something else people can sue about and the only winners are the @#$%^&*())(*&^%$ laawyers
The names are all real names not slang or nicknames or racial slurs so I see nothing wrong with using them.
Wish they would name an aircraft or weapon after me... I don't know what all the fuss is about!
I believe it is a dedication to the tribes after America when it was expanding in the first 200 years really destroyed much of the culture. It is a sign of respect to honor what was lost and need to continue on. We can no fix the past only learn from it.
Been there and done that with the whole Redskins discussion so I'm going to abstain

these things get stretched way out of social and historical context. Funny but who are the individuals who are offended? Many times the people complaining are not even part of the social group that is being discussed.
Agree with MAJ Carl Ballinger .A huge slippery slope and indicative of those who are truly intolerant.
