It is impossible for me to romanticize Custer's final battle.  While I can sympathize with the men who died in it, a blunder was clearly committed.

It was also a battle in a war in which determining which side were the "Good Guys" is extremely subjective.

Honor the soldiers who died with their boots on.

Soldiers in Vietnam were also abandoned by people who thought that North Vietnamese communists were “fighting for their lands” altough they were brutal soldiers.

To put details:

Indians burn Sturgis alive and put his heads on a pole in the center of their village.

I know that many Americans are still attracted to the “Noble Native American” myth, but that’s what happened.

Think about it.
