On this day 6-25-1876 Custer and his men were massacred at the Battle of Little Big Horn
I can't say that I remember. But I have heard about it.

Poor planning on one side, and a no brainer on the other

miss management of your soldiers and a an idiotic war department that supplied you with inferior firearms does not constitute a massacre. But it does make it hard to commit genocide.
And just because it's in history books...

Doesn't always mean it happened that way...
Lots of folks frown on this truth, but...
most of it was an egotistical leader in Custer

who wanted to be the first to engage the enemy. If he had not been in a hurry he could have had 4 Gatling guns with him that could possibly have changed the outcome. Plus he wanted to be the first with a new cartridge and rifle which failed them miserably. The soldiers had to pry the empty brass out of the chambers on many of the rifles. Beside many of the soldier's bodies was found a pocket knife with a broken blade. Custer got what he deserved but it is a shame his men had to be included in it too.
