June 25th was the date of Custer’s Last Stand when Custer and all the men he commanded were wiped out in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Alongside the leadership of Crazy Horse, the older wisdom of Sitting Bull was a factor in the Indian victory.
Here a few quotes from Sitting Bull:
“If we must die, we die defending our rights.”
“When I was a boy, the Sioux owned the world. The sun rose and set on their land; they sent ten thousand men to battle. Where are the warriors today?”
“It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.”
“Now that we are poor, we are free."
The Greatness of America is Red and White and Blue.
Did he not say - “Where the white folks at?”
I saw a F-Troop episode where Col Parmenter wished a visiting Gen Custer a nice trip to the Little Big Horn...
If only Gen Custer had brought the gatling gun or small cannon with him. Or a phased plasma rifle...
If you want to imaging what an implosion is like at 12,000 ft below sea level, stuff 5 hamsters in a Pepsi can and run over it at 60 miles an hour.
Oops, sorry. Wrong thread!
Be reminded that the Sioux were not a peaceful, pastoral people who just wanted to be left alone. Their culture was founded on violence toward other tribes, they engaged in some sickening forms of torture, and their women were treated as chattel, to be bought and sold.
History teaches us to arm ourselves and have the will to use them.
Or a wagon load of phased plasma rifles in the 40 Watt range.
“If only Gen Custer had brought the gatling gun or small cannon with him.”
They are not cavalry platforms, as they would be a hindrance to movement, which is cavalry’s forte. At LBH, they would not have been effective as it was not a static battle; until, perhaps, the very end, which lasted mere minutes.
All very true.
Is this your blog?
Why didn’t you post the whole article?

Glad someone said it.
Yep. My great grandmother told us the story of seeing Sitting Bull when she was a little girl living in a sod house on the Great Plains. He was very old by then, and she and her sister saw him pull up, seated in the back of a wagon. He looked at them and then made a throat slashing motion followed by a scalping motion, implying that he would cut their throats and scalp them. They ran in fright of course, but I think as an adult she thought he was just trying to scare the little kids for fun.
The notion of the peaceful “Native American” living in harmony with nature is a total myth. They all warred with rival tribes, took slaves as part of the spoils, intentionally ran huge herds of buffalo off cliffs just so they could harvest a few, leaving the rest to rot, etc. They were sinful people just like all the rest on the planet and the leftist deification of them is ridiculous.
Their fate was also inevitable. It was only a matter of time before more advanced civilizations expanded outward and discovered and occupied North America. It was impossible that a relatively small number of primitive people would forever possess an entire continent, regardless of who arrived there first.
“Never wipe with a porcupine.”
“Be reminded that the Sioux were not a peaceful, pastoral people who just wanted to be left alone”
An interesting read on this subject is “The Battle of Massacre Canyon, The Unfortunate Ending of the Last Buffalo Hunt of the Pawnees” by J.W. Williamson.
Or followed his orders...
We’re not allowed to discuss it, but I’d venture that a sizable percentage of the “Hispanic” bloodline is Amerindian.
The Election Theft, A/K/A Coup, proved we no longer had the will to use them. Now, the freebies we get from the Government mean more than freedom.

Custer was not ambushed. He attacked a city. He was dog thst caught a bus.
