Priceless lol thanks for the laugh
“Simple tour of the battlefield terrain supports Reno and Benteen.”
Not at all.
No, there is no evidence of Custer disbelieving his scouts. The accurate story of the battle is that the scouts said that he should attack because the Indians had seen him (White Man Runs Him, Red Star)
That the name of a book?
“Enough all ready...saying that Reno and Benteen, career soldiers both, allowed over 200 of their fellow cavalrymen to get massacred because they hated Custer, is like saying Pres. Bush allowed 9/11 to happen so he could attack Iraq.
Stop this foolishness”
That exactly what US general in chief Nelson Appelton Miles wrote in 1898, exactly what Historian Robert Utley in 1996, exactly what Reno Court of Inquiry chairman Jesse Lee wrote in 1897, exactly what Private William Taylor of the 7th cavalry wrote in 1910 etc. etc.
The truth is that you, gate2wire, don’t have a clue to fight Miles’ conclusions. You are just hiding behind a comment which not only false (there is no anti-US propaganda in studying an historical event) but also weak. Very weak.
Almost all the Little Big Horn historians are true patriots and I don’t know many who don’t support troops in the field and at home.
But Custer was an American too. He deserves justice. The evidence of betrayal are many: http://www.custerwest.org

To Hell with Honor, by Larry Sklenar

“But Custer was an American too. He deserves justice. The evidence of betrayal are many: http://www.custerwest.org";
Yes he does, I agree with you on that.
However he’s dead so digging him up to put his ass on trial for gross criminal negligence so we can hang him, is pointless.
Oh by the way, I still haven’t seen the title of your alleged book so that I can go pick it up and read it.
“The truth is that you, gate2wire, don’t have a clue to fight Miles’ conclusions. You are just hiding behind a comment which not only false (there is no anti-US propaganda in studying an historical event) but also weak. Very weak.”
Bullshit. You have offered nothing but opinion and heresay.
Your argument isn’t only weak, it’s foolish.
Stop insulting American soldiers.
“But Custer was an American too. He deserves justice.”
He got his justice you ass.
And took over 200 Americans with him.
Keep posting your idiotic videos every couple weeks...
you’re convincing no one.
“The truth is that you, gate2wire, don’t have a clue to fight Miles’ conclusions.”
No... the truth is, for every Custer sycophant that you can quote, I can find a soldier who fought with Benteen, who says he was the toughest cavalryman he ever fought with.
Stop smearing American soldiers.
