Custer was a coward,it's a shame . So many lives were put to death in their on country. Over a group of sorry politicians and business thieves.
Sorry but although he was a lot of things, Custer was no coward and you can not judge 1800's mind sets by 21st century standards
He was a military man of the times--his motivation was not that of a genocidal serial killer, any more than the pilot of the Enola Gay. Beliefs and experiences change as mankind evolves. To do what many military people have done in the past with today's consciousness would be unthinkable.
Andy Gates you're right Custer wasn't a coward. he was an arrogant coward.
Gina Kingsbury Custer wanted every single Native American dead. That was his motivation and nothing less.He got exactly what he deserved.
