Doc,
I do recall that happening to Custer.. and he did that Often as I have read and seen on documenturies (sp) I just didn't know what base he was at...

I am waiting to see the debate here....

IMO Gen. Custer was a Loser...and he used Human Life to try and Gain his Fame!!!!

National Geographic had an article and a show detailing how Custer's lust for political power was his downfall.

Check out the book "Archaeology, History, and Custer's Last Battle: The Little Big Horn Reexamined".

In this book, it's detailed that this was a massive ass-kicking. Custer used tactics that won him medals during the Civil War, but the indians relied on captured weapons and sheer numbers to destroy him. They "lured" him in a well devised trap after they found out the size of his force. Custer made a juge tactital error in dividing his unit. The other force was called in, but hesitated and was cut down before they could reach Custer. It's hinted in this book that he was used as a pawn for Washington to "step-up" Manifest Destiny, and to get rid of a political rival.

Very interesting reading.

I have seen that... also A&E has had allot on Custers events Biography and that....

I'll have to dig up another Flag this one seem's to have flopped LoL

Thanks for your Inputs Doc...

USAHOG,

Read the book The Creature From Jekll Island by G. Edward Griffin, for some insight as to why the Civil War happend. This book is also good, Tragedy and Hope by Dr. Carroll Quigley.

Tragedy and Hope is VERY dry reading but still interesting. The Creature... is hard to put down.

If anyone has an intrest in history, (and not the history that has been rewriten for the US educational system) these two books are great. Once you read them both, you will see the big picture.

Thanks Robert... I'll look that one up!!!

I have some old History books dating back to the 50's... I refrence them allot.. it is amazing to hold the History books of today to those that taught American Youth back through the 50's... actually it is Sad... Sad that they change the History's or just leave it out to Be "Politically Correct"
When I was out in Virgina visiting all the Battlefields.. I was at "The Wilderness" and talking to a Gentleman there that had lived there all his life.. he was maybe in his 60's. he said ya know they were trying to put a Disneyworld/land out here in Virgina, I told him no I did not know that... he say's Yep and it almost caused another Civil War... this Land is Sacred, Many a Men Fought on Both Sides for what they Felt was Right...and Many Men Died on Both Sides trying to protect those rights.... We Virginians Flat told them... (because the Burocrats were going to allow Disney to come in here) the First Man who puts a Dozer Blade in the Ground will be shot right off his Tractor!!!!!
I wouldn't blame them Virginians... there preserving History... The Wilderness was one of the Worst Battles in American History as to how it was fought... and to this day you can still walk through that area and see the scars of the war in the tree's and the land around that area...

Thanks again for the Info Robert.. I'll look into the Creature book...
