CROW AGENCY — At Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, artifacts from the past are popping up more frequently. Visitors found a Civil War General Service cuff button just last week.

The park memorializes the last stand the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes took against the U.S. Army’s 7th Calvary to preserve their way of life.

My post 73 was a humble, self-effacing post about information.

“”””Your desire to label the 7th Calvary church - oops 7th cavalry of the US army “”””

I didn’t call it “Calvary” I quoted the article.

“The park memorializes the last stand the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes took against the ===U.S. Army’s 7th Calvary=== to preserve their way of life.”

Well excuse me Miss Nancy Pants. If you look at my previous post you’ll see I spelled it correctly before, I just have big thumbs and of occasionally autocorrect does me wrong. Enjoy being a douche.

Um, Battle of Little Big Horn 25 June 1876, 146 years ago. ‘Century old” would be 1922. Arithmetic doesn’t work, another example of illiterate so called journalism

Custer's group and their brutal massacre

Little Big Horn was a battle. Ltc Custer and five companies of the 7th were killed to the last man fighting, not being massacred. Massacre is something the Camp Grant Massacre or Sand Creek where unresisting Indians were killed en mass

"Fire water killed more Indians than the U. S. Calvary."

Who killed more Indians than General Custer?

Union Carbide

“What kind of planes did the Indians operate?”

The Aztecs had P-40’s

“Wow, I feel like I’m at Berkeley or one of the Indian activist’s meetings.”

So what is your opinion of the My Lai “incident” during the Vietnam War?

This coming from a Freeper that is happy that a man’s child was murdered in a assassination attempt by a bomb. That is just sick.

In what sense is it anti-American to acknowledge that an action by a particular military unit was objectively immoral?

Our country has tried to be good. But it was not perfect. Nor will it ever be.

“OH you pointed headed so n so, the indians way of life was going to end anyway, not to mention the indian raids on people living by themselves or in small towns.. cant witewash history”

Hey, I was just pointing out how aerodynamic your head is.

There is no doubt that Native Americans committed atrocities. What I am saying is that both sides were commuting horrendous acts and that for us to wail about the 7th Cavalry getting paid back in the same coin they used is hypocritical. If the 7th Cavalry had won that battle they would have proceeded to kill as many of those tribes as they could regardless of many of them being women, children, and old people. Custer was fond of riding into Indian camps in surprise attacks and securing noncombatant hostages and forcing the warriors to surrender - a true bastard. In retreat he would place hostage Indian women and children among his troops and the warriors would disperse afraid that shots directed against the column might hit their prisoners. When the 7th Cavalry attacked an Indian village they would kill everyone indiscriminately until they subdued the village.

Custer provided the military logic for tactical use of human shields in his book My Life on the Plains, published two years before the Battle of the Little Big Horn:

Indians contemplating a battle, either offensive or defensive, are always anxious to have their women and children removed from all danger…For this reason I decided to locate our [military] camp as close as convenient to [Chief Black Kettle's Cheyenne] village, knowing that the close proximity of their women and children, and their necessary exposure in case of conflict, would operate as a powerful argument in favor of peace, when the question of peace or war came to be discussed

General Custer was a hard man in hard times and he should be judged not on our modern perspective but on the times he lived in. That being said, we can't wail and gnash our teeth over the the fate of the 7th Cavalry at the hands of the Indians because that is how they fought themselves.
