I come from a LONG line of warriors. I'm also a student of history. Custer was a pompous, self centered bottom feeder. I use those terms because we are asked not to use profanity here. He was not a hero in my estimation.
Please explain yourself.
LOL, I don’t have to explain anything. American GIs are massacred by the enemy and a major battle lost and your take is that you think the Lt. Colonel in charge was a jerk anyway that deserved it, although you do feel bad about the rest of the GIs that were defeated and then massacred afterward with no American soldier allowed to live.
I wanted them to win that battle, I wanted my guys to succeed with no losses, I didn’t want our wounded to die horribly as they were tortured and mutilated after the battle instead of being treated as POWs.
Which other times when American GIs have been massacred are you so casual about?
I know that you probably didn’t mean any harm by your post, for some reason many people in our society have been led to put the GIs that fought Indians at a lower level than GIs that fought Nazis or in the Middle East.
For instance no one ever takes Malmedy lightly, yet people joke, write humorous songs about, and mock the Americans that suffered massacre at the Little Bighorn.
These attitudes enabled the left in 1991 to rename Custer Battlefield National Monument named after the US Army officer to Little BigHorn Battlefield National Monument to better reflect where modern America’s sympathies lie.
