George Armstrong Custer was a Major General by the age of 23.

>>34096882
it didn't take a whole lot to be a general back then. Usually having lots of land or wealth guaranteed you the title.

I own land and a "house" at 26, and only have to work 3 days a week for Internet and rates.

26 kissless virgin here.

STOP REMINDING ME.

I could have been a man at arms or even a squire if I was in the medieval era.

I have seen literally thousands of times as many naked women as custer and im only 22.

And by 36 he'd got 210 men killed, an arrow rammed up his dick, and a last name forever associated with major league fucking up after walking into a prairie nigger ambush. I'd rather be unknown.

>>34096889
and there were a lot of open positions due to the dying in combat that generals used to do

Custer was middle-class, it was part of the reason he felt such pressure to get a big win against the Indians.

>>34097948
well maybe if he stuck to the fundamentals instead of showboating like those globetrotters he'd have brought home the bacon

i don't know what were talking about anymore

I didn't murder white men for the benefit of a bunch of carpetbeggars and niggers. so clearly I win.

>>34096889

Incorrect. Certain landed and wealthy men may have acquired a high position during the civil war, which may have been kept in the post-war state militia hierarchy, but the regular, post-civil war Army promoted from within the established channels.

I've outlived him and I have indoor plumbing so I'm doing pretty good

People back then only lived to be 50 and died from things like tuberculosis and polio, of course they accomplished more than modern 23 year olds. 200 years in the future they'lll probably be 50 year old NEETS who live with their 80 or 90 year old parents.

Of which he had neither. Custer was full of himself, but he was all talent.

Lifespan hasn't increased that much. The average has gone up mostly because of vastly decreased infant mortality rates.

>>34096889
Or you could do it the Custer way: Carefully observe the battlefield and meticulously plan out the perfect strategic manner in which tocharge your entire force into the enemy while screaming like maniacs and waving swords around.

IQ is no more evenly distributed among the populace today than it was in the 1860s. The descendants of yesteryears officers enter officer training to this day, while the descendants of grunts - i.e. a majority of the populace - enter as H11b meatshields to this day. HS does not grant wit and a keen mind; it exists to encourage sharp minds to pursue their full potential, while simultaneously routing the less able to simpler careers involving minimally complex daily tasks.

He graduated from West Point.

That said, he barely graduated if only because he was a practical joker and made it a point to be the resident bad boy.

>>34099398
>most probably wouldn't even know you need to boil swamp water before drinking it
I don't think they knew about germ theory when Custer was at West Point.

>>34099539

His hair was bright red. How did they get that so wrong.

>>34099548

They still tell stories about him at the academy. When I was there they still talked about him bringing his dog to R-Day (or whatever it was called back then) and expecting to be allowed to keep it in the barracks.

>>34099548
he didnt mean that you had to be a HS graduate, I meant the level of education is relatively higher than it was back then

>>34099706

John Snow's groundbreaking work on germ theory began in 1849 but was widely distributed and gained a lot of acceptance after the 1854 Cholera outbreak in London.

Custer was at West Point from 1857 to 1861, when germ theory was quite well respected and water sanitation was being taken seriously.

>>34099527

>Army officers are intelligent

Nope. They are more educated then most enlisted, but officers are no more intelligent then riflemen.

Incorrect. He was breveted Major-General during the war but his actual rank was as high as Lieutenant-Colonel.

A little but it's supposed to be like, really bright red. Borderline Ginger. Hell most of his nick-names involved some play on, "Red" in regard to his hair.

indeed...Custer didn't suck. the battle of the little big horn maybe the strangest in American history.

>>34100499
And he was also an overconfident prima donna - sadly it didn't only cost his life, also most of his men died because of his incompetence in that battle.

>>34100530
You can't really call a man who fought and beat JEB Stuart incompetent though.

>>34096882
He was a BREVET Maj. General, it was a temporary rank he held until the end of the war, and did not affect his seniority and permanent rank in the Army. When the war ended he reverted to his previous rank in the Regular Army.

sorta...Littlebighorn was a cluster-fuck all around, many of the indian warriors were napping when Maj Reno engaged the village. No-one was expecting the biggest battle since Tippecanoe. The northern-plains warriors were exceptional fighters but large picthed battles were not their thing. the US army couldn't even conceived that all the major warrior societies of 3 large indian nations would be gathered together in one place...because it only happened once, and they weren't even there to fight. Crazy-nofucksgiven-Horse organized the counter attack.

Custer's biggest mistake was putting worthless Reno and that war-criminal Benteen in charge of the other columns while taking BASED Keogh (PBUH) with him.

Keogh would have counter-attacked and tried to get to Custer.

It happened 10 years earlier, the last time we were at war with the Sioux.

>Crazy-nofucksgiven-Horse organized the counter attack.
And just like that Crazy Horse became responsible for the two worst defeats the American military ever suffered at the hands of the natives.

during the civil was custer's men had a casualty rate if over 100 percent. he'd get all his guys killed, get new guys, then get them killed.

You can when he becomes a self absorbed jackass because of it and is permanently known for one of the greatest disasters in American military history.

When you hear the name Custer you don't think about his actions during the Civil War. You think guy that had his entire force massacred by Crazy Horse.

>>34101870
No he wasn't, Red Cloud sat out The Great Sioux War. Supposedly because he was keeping his word and obeying the Treaty of Fort Laramie, but more than likely because he'd been to the East by then and realized there was no winning the war with America.

>>34096882
Custer also died at the age of 36. I'm 22 years beyond that point so I'll call it a win.

his ambition got him. he tried to repeat his success at the "battle" of Washita by splitting his forces and catching a bunch of squaws, children and old people by the camping by the river. He didn't listen to his scouts and divided his forces in the face of one of the largest concentrations of North American Braves in recorded history, who were sitting around eating buffalo ribs and talking shit about killing him for breaking his word. He pushed his men beyond their effective endurance in order to get a victory in time to make the wires back to the Democratic National Convention that year so he would get shooed in to be president. Believe it or not, the Lakota and Southern Cheyenne saved us from President Custer.

>>34104760

I wonder if he would've ended Reconstruction.

i really have no idea what his platform was. i don't think he did either.
