Yes I've been reading one of the many books about Custers's Last Stand. I wonder, this General was nothing but a native american hater. He, as General of the army didn't have any respect for his superior rank, not even for the chief of command. He played his own rules inside the army, and he thought he was indestructable. At the end he got what he was looking for, a violent and horrible death.
This General is considered an American hero, after reading this book I found out he was nothing but an indian hater, a murderer and fighting for his own cause.

I know the Queen of England is just an accessory for British

to read about, I know the Royal Family do not considered themselves

as part of a living fantasy. But do you people know their secrets?

No! You see I waa talking about Custer, and this lady changed the whole context.

By who? I think most Americans think Custer got exactly what he deserved. I for one salute the first nations people of Montana for terminating that SOB.

Exactly, a fatal mistake made by him...like I said, he was
fighting his own cause, that was exterminating all indians
and never listened to his superiors.

people.

"Audie" Custer finished last in his class at West Point. I'm sure he never studied Sun Tzu "The Art of War". If he had, instead of trying to attack headlong a superior force thinking it would be easy the outcome would most likely have been much different.
I'd love to hear what Norman Shwartzcoff would say about Custers battle plans that day. That would make for some good reading.
