Abstract
One aim of this article is to chide the U.S. military-and Americans overall-for not paying sufficient attention to our historic relations with American Indians. After all, American Indians are the non-Westerners we Americans we should know best. A review of American Indian history can hed important light on our current encounters with tribal peoples elsewhere. At the same time, however, great care needs to e taken. Instead of just citing similarities-as analogies lead us to do- we must also take note of differences, which we can best do by using history as a foil.
