God, are you one stupid bastard. The 7th committed a massacre equal to Sand Creek at Wounded Knee. And then were caught by armed Lakota Warriors, and would have been wiped out, quite justly, had it not been for the Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th Calvary.Riiiiiiiiiiight... "look, a brave has a weapon, SLAUGHTER ALL THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN."
Gimme a break, it was a massacre, plain and simple. NOT something the Cavalry or America should EVER be proud of.
After the slaughter at Little Big Horn, the Sioux should have run to Canada but they didn't. If you'd ever been in a combat theater you'd know that anybody who harbors, loads weapons, or feeds the enemy is fair game. The 7th had taken enough shit off these savages....Wounded Knee was the clincher....they submitted and never gave us another peep of trouble....mission accomplished.
