You don't seem to know your American history well enough! Nor do you read well enough! By the way, the name was Custer, not Custor. General George Armstrong Custer had always despised the Indians throughout his military career and the way he pursued and massacred them (by maneuvering and forcing them off cliffs) betrays his belief the native Indians were subhumans. Wasn't it fitting (and an illustration of the old adage, "Pride comes before the fall") that Custer was roundly defeated and scalped by the Indians at Big Horn in Montana on June 25th 1876. Don't try to make excuses for Custer's defeat. His treatment of the Indians was so cruel and inhuman that formerly mutually antagonistic Indian tribes banded together under Chief Sitting Bull to defeat him. All said, Custer was asking for it. History shows he thought the Indians could be so easily disposed of that he didn't make appropriate advanced preparations.................................. History tends to repeat itself. Will we be seeing shades of Big Horn, Custer and Chief Sitting Bull in present day Iraq????? Or are we seeing some of it already????? .
