Custer's men failed to form up into any kind of defensive positions. The Trapdoor Springfield is capable of killing at ranges far exceeding any repeating rifles or other weapons used by the Sioux. The actual accounts of surviving Indians tell of soldiers being over run in groups of two or three, scattered over a large area not a "last stand scenario" depicted in movies. Poor marksmanship on the part of the Seventh Cavalry was due to the limited amount of ammunition the Army allowed for practice (10 rounds per man per year).

What kind of advanced weapons do drug dealers carry? RPG's?Stingers?Tanks? You have bought into the propaganda of the War on Drugs, lock, stock and barrel. The police of today have become the standing army our nations founders warned us about 220 years ago.

This is not true.

The “breakdown story” was invented by the archaeologists in 1993 but has been totally destroyed since. Researchs in 2006 showed that Custer’s men were good marksmen, because they killed 200 warriors on the field alone (dead by wounds and wounded not included).

The Last Stand is a very historical event, which cannot be disputed. Richard Fox, who claimed that the last stand never happened, was wrong, and was ignoring every Indian testimony.

Indians said that the battle lasted long, very long, with heavy fire, the soldiers who saw the body on June 27, 1876, also testified of great amount of cartridges and a lot of skirmish lines (just as Indians testified).

There was NO breakdown until 5.30 and the last stand on Custer Hill raged from 5.50 to 6.20 p.m.

Many Americans are still aware of the archaeological studies, but they were made with only poor material (10 cartridges on Custer Hill, what a joke ! And 100 years after the battle! With the relic hunters having stolen thousands of cartridges !)

Custer’s resistance was long. Custer’s men had 100 rounds of ammunition in their saddles and pockets.
