Like the same strategy the Brits had, all dressed in red and march in a straight line. Remember that Cosby routine?

Some say it was alcohol and disease that killed the Indians but I say it was a bad relief pitching.

Circle the Indians! The wagons are attacking!

Someone needs to turn off the tube and read up on Crazy Horse, Geronimo, and others' tactics. Sheesh!

Speaking of baseball, there’s an old, now suppressed, story of Tigers who do that turning into butter.

When was the movie filmed 1940? Many different tribes had advanced fighting techniques. However, it would be difficult to win against superior weapons and disease.

It would be a real shame if a member of FR allowed himself to be deluded and ignorant because of Hollywood. Many of us are conservative, traditional Americans.

So, are you going to come back and discuss, or are you just trying to be “cute”?

That and the superior guns that the Old West had that could kill 20 indians for every shot fired.

I seem to have heard something about "Guns Germs and Steel" somewhere.

Disease was the biggest killer of the Indians. They did not have any immunity or defense against common white man diseases.

Guerrilla tactics that colonists learned from Indians during the French And Indian War helped Americans win the Revolutionary War.

Illegal Immigration has always been a problem. Just ask the Indians.

You’re assuming that an old Hollywood movie accurately depicts the battle tactics of tribal groups. I would imagine that the film director would choose the battle tactics that best fit his movie.

Remember “Blazing Saddles?”

It was hysterical when they met up with the injuns.
