Custer may still be revered by his fellow USMA graduates, but should he be?
Russell Means and the American Indian Movement once placed a memorial plaque at the Little Bighorn National Battlefield with the following inscription:
"In honor of our Indian Patriots who fought and defeated the U.S. calvary. In order to save our women and children from mass-murder. In doing so, preserving rights to our Homelands, Treaties and Sovereignty. 6/25/1988 G. Magpie, Cheyenne."
Shouldn't the victors of a battle be allowed to write its history, especially because in this case their plaque is more historically accurate than the baloney peddled by the National Park Service?
