We celebrate plenty of military victories, and battles, almost by definition, are where people get killed.

I look at this as their celebrating a victory, not the deaths of Custer and his men in particular.

Incidentally, among the books I've read on the subject was one (don't remember the name right now) that examined the forensic evidence of the battle. Their seems to be some indication that there were at least a few survivors who managed to escape and evade, but eventually died of wounds or exposure....there were some skeletons found a considerable distance from the actual site of the battle.

That's the right answer I was trying to come up with....
