Indians in the War

For anyone who has not seen the movies, Wind Talkers and Flags of Our Fathers, I suggest that you do. It really shows how the Navajo helped the war efforts in the Pacific with their language. It really stumped the Japanese who could not, for the life of them, figure out this "code". Whats great is that it was just their language and nothing really all that special. Now on to Ira Hayes, one of the heroes of Iwo Jima who raised the last flag. The movie, Flag of Our Fathers, was surprisingly matter of fact. What had happened was that after the initial flag was raised, during combat, one of the commanding officers wanted the flag for some purpose, and ordered that the flag be taken down, but it was really a moral booster for the troops, so they switched out the combat flag for a new flag, but the only thing they could find to raise it again was a huge pole and it was a big flag and it took 6 of them to raise it, and that made for the most famous photograph in history. While Ira was a hero for being in a war, after he got out, he could not get the help that he needed and ended up being a disgrace. The depictions of the Navajo talkers on the other hand seemed to be very noble and righteous. Oh and about the class, I think trying to relocate the Indians off of their reservation land to of all places Colorado seemed horrible. Just a thought.
