Sorry, but the Indian wars were fought for practical reasons ... to get their land, build railroads across it, mine gold on it etc. The ordinary troops fighting the plains tribes weren't civil war veterans .. though the generals were.

Furthermore, the crusaders weren't veterans of Charlemagne's wars. Hundreds of years had passed.
