@lilcc31 You're obviously another fine example of the deplorable state of American education brought on by political correctness and multiculterism.Please check with the United Nations..a non-white,non english org.and research African Genocide since 1950.Since just this period (60yrs) more than 100 million souls have perished through tribal / ethnic slaughter ALL without the aid of the white man.The "white man" has sent hundreds of millions of dollars for food & medicine & all for naught !

@7thUSCavalryman Historical facts we know about Custer. He hung captured CSA soldiers. At the Washita River he escaped death by capturing 51 Cheyenne women and children to use as hostages, and tried to do the same at the Greasy Grass. He was court-martialed on the frontier in 1868 for going AWOL. He attempted to make a deal with Pres Johnson to get a full colonel's commission. According to Frank Finckle, Custer and his brother fled the last battle but got turned back by the Lakota.

nothing but a damn enforcer of a tyrant...to hell with the U.S. government...the music is suiting for a demon with the mask of a savior

The children of the Lakota Warriors who defeated Custer and his force at LBH were among the first to sign up to fight for the freedom of the U.S.A. in the First World War. They earned more Awards of Valor in battle than members of any other race or religion that put on a U.S. Army uniform. In every conflict since, Native americans have always been the first people at the army recruiting office. It's in our DNA, I guess.

I love the attitude, If you have something that I want I just take it from you no matter the cost. All I need is a bigger stick than you to do so. My next door neighbor just bought a new big screen TV and a his daughter is hot. I think I should get my big stick and cave in his skull and take them for myself. That's the lessson Custer teaches me.

@NDN96 Yeah, Custer was a real al-Qaeda fighter that's for sure. I guess you can compare someone who commanded a large number of troops, leading head-on to face their enemy, to a terrorist recluse that commands a group that uses guerilla tactics and suicide bombers. Coward, no. Custer, if anything, was too brave for his own good. Terrorist, well, it depends in what context. In the eyes of the Indian, he was a monster. To white Americans, he was a hero. The truth lies in-between.

@NDN96 How's that? I mean, you come on here and give me a lame insult, but say I should go back to my McJob? The last time I checked, this is YouTube and not a lecture hall. I was making a quick statement about Custer, not giving you a detailed historical biography. I've presented some quick facts for you, so there. Custer may not have been the best of men, but he was a distinguished military figure that did contribute some to the United States. He was really flawed, but you can't write him off.

[Kiriakos1991]

@NDN96 4 contin.) Custer's devastating move, though courageous, was due to his belief that the Indians already knew of the 7th Cavalry's position, and he could no longer wait for General Alfred Terry and his troops. The Indians, deemed hostile by the U.S. government because of their encampments in an area reserved for the search of gold, were accused of taking part in a massacre, but it was Custer's failed military logic that cost him his life and the lives of his men.

[Kiriakos1991]

@NDN96 4) As for any disagreement concerning Custer's bravery, his last stand against the Plains Indians proved to not only be his greatest folly, but a last showing of his courage. Custer and his force of over a little more than 200 men led a charge against the Sioux at the Little Bighorn River in Montana on June 25, 1876, fighting to their death. Only a U.S. Army horse by the name of Comanche survived the battle.

@NDN96 2)Custer remained in U.S. Army after 1865, and was appointed lieutenant colonel of the newly authorized 7th Cavalry. 3)In November 1868, Custer and the 7th Cavalry led an attack that defeated Black Kettle's Indian force at the Washita River, which earned him a great amount of respect from U.S. Army officials.
