2. LOL! General Custer was an asshole who got what he deserved.
May he rot in hell for the incalculable pain he inflicted on the Native Americans.

The Indians did this country a great service by killing him. He probably would have run for political office had he survived.

5. That...um...that wasn't Custer.
Custer survived the Civil War ;)

Personally, I prefer Santiago!

14. You serious?
I thought ayeshahaqqiqa was making a joke about Custer. A Union General really said that before he got shot?

8. He was a complete idiot, too.
He thought his little company could take on fifteen thousand Native Americans. I'm surprised the Native Alliance didn't hold the whites off longer.

16. Bonsai!
Heheh.

I used to fly a WWII flight combat simulation game called Air Warrior. One of the planes in it was the Japanese Zero. Whenever I flew it I'd always call out "Bonsai!" on the open radio channel.

Someone else would always call back "You mean Banzai, idiot. Bonsai is a small tree."

I'd call back "I meant Bonsai. That is my battle cry."

"Small Tree!"
