"I wonder if there will be as much bruhaha for a reenactment of the US Cavalry's victory at Wounded Knee? I need to get a few blanks for my Krag anyway."

Nah. That and actions such as "The Sand Creek Massacre" with so many genocidal deaths are poor choices to celibrate.

The racism, cultural intolerance, and phylosophy of "Manifest Destiny" that contributed to these black parts of American History is nothing to be proud of.

Myself, I spent time in the 1/17 Airborne (Air) Calvary when I was a young paratrooper in the 82nd so I am neither anti Cav or military. But in looking at the two above mentioned military actions, I am no more proud of them then I am of the shameful relocation of Cherokees and other Indians by Andrew Jackson in the 1830s known as "The Trail of Tears."

No such thing as a sarcasm tag but I meant that statement as sarcasm.
