This is the only thing I agree with Obama about. Custer was an arrogant Indian killer who thought his 600 men could swoop down on a village of 12-20,000 Sioux and Northern Comanche and rout them. He deserved what he got. Too bad for the innocent soldiers that had to follow him. All he had to do was to wait for Gen. Terry and success would have followed.

Obama does not always (although it seems that way at times) get his facts wrong, but his use of them is always perverted.

Northern Cheyenne, not Comanche. As for waiting for Terry and success being assured, that's quite debatable...

Oh, I failed to mention that the fighting strength of the Indian camp Custer attacked on June 25th was in the neighborhood of 1800 warriors.
