Speaking of George Custer--go back to your history textbooks and you will find that all publishers used Custer as one of our nation's hero. I use to argue the hypocrisy of this decision with our editors--never one the battle and they always fell back on the long history of using him in textbooks--you know, tradition! Would anyone like to guess why Custer became our hero in textbooks! Our go to guy!

Every student in America should study and/or travel to Phnom Penh and walk through the torture center that was previously a conventional secondary school (aka Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum) and the powerful exhibit at the "Killing Fields." Both are monuments to peace, and what horror can happen when a Populist leader decides "the ends justify the means." Tuol Sleng School

One of the guys working for me now Is of Cambodian descent, one of the hardest working guys I've seen, in the past I have also had a Vietnamese and a Korean working for me, both good guys and workers, Sok the Vietnamese has had an interesting life, he was a Captain in the South Vietnamese Army attached to some General i don't remember the name of, anyway on Sok's day off this general and the men with him were killed by the Vietcong in an ambush, lucky for SOK, in his village he was friends with this old man and after Saigon fell the North Vietnamese were looking for any soldiers who fought against them, they came for him but the old man stopped them, it turned out the old man was a leader of the local Vietcong so having him for a friend probably saved his life, he took off soon after and was one of the boat people, because he spoke some French he ended up in Quebec but it was too cold for him so he came to the West as soon as he could. he has an upbeat personality for a guy that had probably seen a lot of horror.
