Now, I'm not sayin' I'm a better general or even Lieutenant Colonel than ol' George, but iffen my scouts said, "Jeez, man, there must be a couple thousand Indians over there" I sure as heck wouldn't divide my troops, like Gaul, into three parts. And I wouldn't send the troops with the ammunition off on a scout. In fact, I wouldn't even disobey orders -- I'd let my CO know what I'd found and just sit there and dig rifle pits and things.

Screw this "Bugler, sound the charge!" stuff. Man there's like 3,000 Indians out there and you're outnumbered better'n three to one in your whole regiment!

"Please Mr Custer,
I don't wanna go...."
