Just more appeasement of the PC gods.
OTTAWA—References to radical natives in the Canadian army’s counterinsurgency manual will not appear in the final version of the document, Defence Minister Gordon O’Connor has announced.
The use of “radical Native American organizations” as an example of insurgents in a draft version of the manual has incensed native leaders, who viewed the wording as a threat to their political rights to protest.
Assembly of First Nations National Chief Phil Fontaine said yesterday the inclusion of natives in the manual could threaten the ability of Canadian natives to travel internationally.
But in a written statement, Mr. O’Connor explained that the document was simply making reference to past examples of insurgencies and was not meant to suggest that natives in Canada are a potential military target.
Got that? We can no longer even refer to past examples of insurgent-like behavior from radical organizations for fear of offending the minority/victim groups associated with that behavior. Sort of like how some schools in Europe aren’t teaching about the holocaust any more out of fear of offending Muslims.
