Sorry, no. Custer was an intrepid fighter - you don’t get all his promotions without doing something right. And he took some of the best photos of the war and the Indian wars that followed - to see the giant photos of him at the LBH is to be in the presence of SOMEBODY.
BTW, I love both sides of the war. Fine Americans, all.
Makes no difference to me in re: WBTS.
Custer had it coming. He was a megalomaniac. So, if you like that kind of leadership, in a velvet custom uniform, then you’d like a Wesley Clark. Presentation impresses, reality of leadership and facts, do not. Longstreet ate this little creep’s lunch, as did JEB Stuart. His own men deserted him at LBH— because he disregarded obvious expert intel.
Always love the story of the squaws who came to rob the dead and continue insult on them— they pierced both his eardrums to open his ears so he would hear better before the Great Spirit. Deo Vindice.
