My son did a report on Lt. Col. Custer for school last year. I had to hold my tongue about how much contempt I have for Custer.

Contempt for Custer?

One of the greatest heroes of the Civil War?

Savior of Gettysburg in his first action as General?

A man who always led from the front?

The man who forced Lee’s surrender at appomatax on April 9th with his bold moves?

How on earth could you have contempt for such a man!

Custer shouldnt have been allowed to command a latrine detail. He was all about image. All hat, no cowboy.
A little like Gen MacArthur
