Looks like the US Military is going to get some attention on the names of some of their weapons systems. Then again maybe the Washington Post is trying to deflect attention from their beloved Redskins.

I recently asked dad who started for four years on the basketball team for the St John University Redmen in the late 1940s about their team name change in 1995 to Red Storm. He said it was the right thing to do. He has always been more concerned with the "Storm" having a decent team than their name.
