Indians hadn’t the initiative until the end of the battle.
Before that, Custer surprised them twice and hoped for support by Benteen and Reno. This support NEVER CAME. Reno left his position, so did Benteen by never joining Custer.
It’s a betrayal. As hard as it is to say, Native American warriors didn’t have a clue to do with the battle. They just found an isolated squadron of cavalry which had been betrayed by 2/3 of the regiment.
“It’s a betrayal.”
Enough. In regards to F. Benteen. You are slandering/smearing the name of a man who served OUR country, bravely, for 30 years. Decorated, oft-promoted, he was know for his courage in battle.
You have some desire to defend Custer, fine. Stop slandering brave soldiers.
