re: Not a word about Custer

Custer was an absolute idiot.

How would you know?

Granted he was bottom of his class at West Point.

But bottom of your class at West Point and everybody else in 1860 is night and day.

But to entertain your point, at least provide facts:

In his four years at West Point, Custer amassed a record-total of 726 demerits, one of the worst conduct records in the history of the academy.

A fellow cadet recalled Custer as declaring there were only two places in a class, the head and the foot, and since he had no desire to be the head, he aspired to be the foot.
