Quoted: She volunteered for our great army, and wound up losing her life for it. That alone is enough to name any previously "unnamed" freeways, mountains, drainage ditches, washes, holes, after her, at least in my book.

No. She doesn't. Because she's a fucking Indian Ass-kissing racist who'd rather piss on the grave of these brave fighting soldiers who put themselves on the front line rather than say "no, it's too early to rename mountains after a dead Indian woman - let's wait five years or so. The mountain will still be there."
But no.
Well I for one will never call that mountain or freeway anything other than "squaw peak".

I dont recall ever posting my thoughts on what the governor thinks, only that she (like MOST polishitans) is taking advantage of the public relations "boost" the Piestewa/Lynch thingy caused. Since you asked, I would have to say no, she doesnt give a shit about them, just like she doesnt give a shit about Lori. Like I said, it was a PR boost. I guess one could stretch it and say she might have felt something because they share gender, but like I said, it'd be a hell of a stretch. Two of those men you mentioned were from my neck of the desert. I too, feel the pain in their loss..... I can see your point, but... she died in COMBAT too. What angers you more, the fact that Lori was a woman, or that the gov renamed the mountain/freeway without the necessary wait? Surely, you dont dispute that she died in combat, do you? What exactly is the "front line"? Each of those soldiers went over there, and spent time under direct fucking fire. I would call that the front line! They all died in combat, and I think most folks might agree. So,,,, it boils down to what, gender? Or should we re-name freeways in order of death? I just dont get it. If we replace the name Piestewa with White, would you feel the same? After its all said and done, I dont think naming a freeway is that big of an honor anyway, I would like to think that there are better things we can do...
