It was a massacre of American GIs, even the wounded and POWs were cruelly murdered to the last man.
Well your 7th Cavalry was going to attack their camp full of their families - women, children and old people. Would you do any different? The American military was in the middle of a program of genocide that planes Indians so I don't have much in sympathy for them. I grew up 40 miles from that battlefield and went to school with many of the great grandchildren of those fighters so I think I speak with some authority.
Depending on which side you’re on, it could also be called a decisive victory.
Yep, just like the Native American families were murdered at Wounded Knee. This was the result.
