It’s easy he killed all of his men, was a martinet as a leader and the best testimony of this is the refusal of one of his junior commanders, knowing he was being slaughtered, to come to aid (because he knew doing so would have wiped out his Battalion of Troops D, H & K, and he chose to come to the aid of Reno who was getting is a@@ whupped and much closer).

Speaking of Colonel Frederick Benteen.

Animus otherwise stems from long ago encounters (not by me, but namesake) with the desperate little man. And I agree— LOL!! Heh.
