“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.
Pimp your blog/book/videos elsewhere.
“he was know for his courage in battle.”

Hey,
Benteen and Reno didn’t support their troops in the middle of battle.
Being soldiers don’t save them of military rules. What about the 210 men on the hill, surrounded by enemies ? What about Custer, who draw a battle plan and was, after his death, tarnished and tarnished again because 2/3 of his regiment wasn’t in the battle ?
Benteen betrayed 210 soldiers and left them behind without supporting them.
“Reno proved incompetent and Benteen showed his indifference – I will not use the uglier words that have often been in my mind. Both failed Custer and he had to fight it alone.”
Private William Taylor, 7th cavalry, February 20, 1910
