To continue on the serie "learn the US history without political correctness", here is part one of a documentary on an American soldier tarnished by political correctness. Please spend a little time to learn what this soldier did and why it is so important that the American people know their history without the rewriting of the left.
They fought for the flag, the flag must not forget them.

Custer was a goofball.
It is exactly what I wrote above. You don’t know a clue of what he did, or did not.
It is very dangerous for a nation to bury her soldiers without a fair trial. Shame on you.
Can’t watch video here at work - 8e6 filtering says that it is pornography.
General Custer is one of America’s Honored Dead.
W
Wow !! :-)
It’s not. It’s a video about Custer’s career in the Civil War and in the first part of the Indian wars.
There is not much violence, except a picture of a naked man killed by Indian. Nothing very violent or schocking.
I drink to that.
If Americans knew the true story of Custer, there wouldn’t be any man jocking on him.
Virginia Tech was a tragedy, but I do wish these talking head ignoramuses like Bill O'Reilly would quit saying VT was the worst massacre in American history. I mean, Jesus Christ, hasn't that dummy ever heard of the Civil War and its aftermath, or of the Indian wars?
Thanks again for the videos. Let me know when Part II comes out.
Thank you very much !
There are also these videos on the same subject:

Wow, excellent! They were almost victorious despite Reno’s cowardice.
Remember the 210!

Good historical account of The Battle of the Washita. Custer is not too well thought of in Oklahoma and most of us feel that he got what was coming to him at Little Big Horn.
He was very lucky to escape at Washita. I grew up in the same country it occurred in and some of the old timers when I was a small boy had very good accounts of it from their fathers.
Custer was a great man and a great general who has been defamed by the liberals. In a hundred years they’ll be making up lies about chesty puller, Colin Powell, George Bush and Stormin’ Normin Scwarzkoff.
We’ll set them straight one at a time. Vietnam stemmed the communist influence. And, although this is anectotal, I have an Uncle who says that My Lai was provoked.
I agree with you about Custer. Military figures are always attacked by liberals. But Custer has been attacked by almost all America since the beginning of the XXth Century.
Do you know what the Cheyennes did in Oklahoma and in Kansas before the battle of the Washita?
They massacred, raped and took hundreds of civilians. Clara Blinn and his son were murdered by the Cheyennes. The “peaceful village” of the “peaceful chief” Black Kettle is bullshit.¨
See the video:

Latest National Park service researchs show that at least 200 Indians were killed at Little Big Horn.
So, yes, Custer’s men did well.
It's a wonder they haven't gone after Audie Murphy and Sergeant York
If I thought you knew what you are talking about instead of pointing me to some video created 139 years after the fact we might be able to discuss this. With the following post I will cease discussion on it and you can try to make a hero out of a n egotistical maniac if you wish.
I’m sure no calvary soldier ever did the same to the Indians. I’m sure the Indians were real happy with whites moving into Oklahoma at that point in time when it was supposed to be the “home of the redman”.
What Custer did at The Battle of the Washita was kill innocent women and children. Warriors are one thing but to kill kids and women is entirely a different matter. About twenty miles east of the site of The Battle of the Washita is a little town called Hammond where the descendants of the Cheyenne live on a reservation. They are a defeated people but good people. In the stories handed down they respect many of the US Calvary soldiers that their forefathers fought against but have absolutely zero respect for Custer.
IMO, Custer deserved what he got at Little Bighorn - just a shame it didn’t happen towards the end of the Civil War.
“What Custer did at The Battle of the Washita was kill innocent women and children. “
What a bunch of ridiculous lies. You are mixing what Indians did to Clara Blinn with what Custer ordered NOT to do with Indian civilians. Wake up.
