odawg: "Hard to think that it could surmount Custer’s last stand, where only a horse survived."

Custer's command had 12 companies total, of which 3 companies under Renno, 3 more under Benteen and one company under McDougall survived.
Custer took five companies to Little Big Horn, of which none survived.
So, as a percentage, deaths were roughly half.

At the Battle of the Wabash (aka St. Clair's defeat), almost the entire command of about 1,000 men was killed by an equal number of Native Americans lead, in part, by Little Turtle.

If we compare the numbers killed to US populations then & now, in today's terms, Custer lost about 3,500 men but St. Clair lost over 100,000!

It's the greatest American army defeat nobody ever heard of.

"Interesting name because bulls don't sit."

You'd have to ask Big Chief about that -- he big like bull, sits in councils, inspires warriors at Little Big Horn, not like Custer...

Sitting Bull... Bull sitting -- yup, that's Washington.

"Squatting dog is a Indian name, call them that."

And how many evil whites did Squatting Dog kill?

I don’t know, some.

I was thinking of DC Orangeskins.

Brilliant graphic of the name I like best too! Only, I guess they’d prefer DC Orangeskins...just to stay away from slave owners, ya know.

“The Washington Pocketdoors”

Why not?

[kearnyirish2]

“The Pocatello Potatoes”

That won’t work; The Man stole the potato and took it back to Europe. White Man (and Orange Man) bad!

[Taxman]

Washington Wussies?

Washington Whimps?

I hope that ever how many millions of NFL fans there were before the insanity began stay away FOREVER!

And that the league goes bankrupt!

That is one of MY “privileges:” TO NEVER WATCH THE NFL AGAIN!
