CROW AGENCY — At Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, artifacts from the past are popping up more frequently. Visitors found a Civil War General Service cuff button just last week.
The park memorializes the last stand the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes took against the U.S. Army’s 7th Calvary to preserve their way of life.

Aren't there such things as proofreaders for these news offices any more?
It was a massacre of American GIs, even the wounded and POWs were cruelly murdered to the last man.
Following is a conversation between Custer and one of his scouts:
Scout: Sir, I’ve got good news and bad news.
Custer: Give me the bad news first.
Scout: We’re surrounded by 10,000 indians.
Custer: What’s the good news?
Scout: We won’t have to go back to Kansas!
It got through the spell checker. That's the only proofreader.
Proofreaders became obsolete when spellcheck was invented.

19 seconds. Should have left off the /s.
Isn’t that a crucifixion site?
29 seconds. Should have checked my addition.
It was the hill the 7th died on
Imagine being sodomized by Big Bubba over a tiny little button. It ain't worth it, folks!
Well your 7th Cavalry was going to attack their camp full of their families - women, children and old people. Would you do any different? The American military was in the middle of a program of genocide that planes Indians so I don't have much in sympathy for them. I grew up 40 miles from that battlefield and went to school with many of the great grandchildren of those fighters so I think I speak with some authority.
“The park memorializes the last stand the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes took...”
But for the Indians, it was a Pyrrhic victory. The army was relentless in its pursuit of them. Somewhat ironically news of Custer’s defeat hit the East right in time for the nation’s celebration of its 100th anniversary.
It was a massacre of American GIs, even the wounded and POWs were cruelly murdered to the last man???
Sand creek come to mind on why this happened. It was reciprication
Depending on which side you’re on, it could also be called a decisive victory.
Wow, one of those, Americans are being trained to identify with our enemies, even to the murdering of our troops, hatred of our people, and our history.
What kind of planes did the Indians operate?
I recall the alternate history story, “Custer’s Last Jump”.
The 7th were an Air Cavalry, ballon infantry unit attempting a vertical envelopment of the Indian encampment when the unit was interdicted and destroyed by Geronimo leading a flight of mothballed Confederate Air Force biplanes.
As an American and a veteran I side with our country, and it is not merely a victory when you cruelly murder the wounded and POWs,
I don’t get these people who find humor in the murder of American GIs.
Members of The Calvary Baptist Church were in the cavalry.
