Sorry bud. You didn’t read the first part of the sentence. I said ‘’modern day’’ US officer. Custer was a bum. Jerkoff.

“...You didn’t read the first part of the sentence. I said modern day’ US officer. Custer was a bum...” [jmacusa, post 85]

I read all of your post.

Your take on Custer’s private life doesn’t matter.

You are using the “presentism” gambit: the conceit that there is only one standard of “morality,” which is agreed to by all and never changes. Honest historical researchers reject it outright and warn others to do the same.

Presentism is used by two types of people:

1. Those short on knowledge, experience, or smarts. They can’t figure out what’s going on.

2. Dishonest people.
