Quotes from
Gen. Philip Sheridan:
The only good Indian is a dead Indian!
Gen. George Armstrong Custer: War isn't just killing, you know. It's a contest. It's a man against a man.
[indicates a Gatling gun]
Gen. George Armstrong Custer: That's a machine! Personal courage wouldn't count. Honor, duty, loyalty - everything a soldier lives by - would be wiped out. All you would have left is statistics. How many men would the machine murder today? One hundred? One thousand? Ten thousand? If this is the future, I don't want any part of it.
Gen. Philip Sheridan: You know, you could become a living legend... or get yourself killed. Dead men make better legends.
