re: #215 opnion

Good morning all. the Administartion is calling this failed program a success.
It’s kind of like, “We do not know why Custer is unavailable for the victory parade.”

AP — Washington — June 26 1876. The White House announced today a stunning success in the Montana Territory. General George C. Custer successfully diverted a large number of Indians from making indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets. Reports also state that in the aftermath of Gen’l Custer’s campaign “The Indians are running desperately short of ammunition; their warriors are exhausted.” A spokesman summed up the situation by saying “The success of this operation, distracting and disarming the opposition, is a clear indication of the success of our current policy.”
