My other reasons supporting “yes” is because of the September 11th attack and because of the actions of the past presidents of the United States as well as the potential future threats against our country. Operation Geronimo To say that President Obama had legal authority to execute Operation Geronimo would

could return to Arizona. However, Geronimo lived for another 22 years and was never allowed to return to Arizona. Why do you think that the United States government didn’t let Geronimo return to Arizona? Give examples to support your reasons. Write at last two reasons. After watching the movie, I felt bad for the Apache people and how the United States army lied to them. They did not kept their word to the Apache people, the outlaw Apaches that led by Goyakla (Geronimo), to the Chiricahua Scouts, and

A nation formed from the blood of an entire culture. The Revisionist Western Film, Geronimo, (1993) by director Walter Hill, sheds light on various events leading up to the migration of Whites to the Midwest, and the conflicts that ensued between the Apaches and the migrants, the latter of which will eventually claim victory in unifying the United States from East to West.

The Apache “last stand” as it were, was lead by a medicine man and renowned warrior known as Geronimo. Geronimo and his followers had rebelled from the Fort Apache reservation due to the hostile treatment they’d received from the United States military.
