          I suspect your belief would be in the minority...

                  Counties are named in Custer's honor in five states: Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. Custer County, Idaho, is named for the General Custer Mine, which was named for Custer. Townships in Michigan and Minnesota were named for Custer. There are also the villages of Custer, Michigan and Custar, Ohio, the city of Custer, South Dakota, and the unincorporated town of Custer, Wisconsin. A portion of Monroe County, Michigan, is informally referred to as "Custerville".[68]
                  Custer National Cemetery is within Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, the site of Custer's death.
                  An equestrian statue of Custer was erected in Monroe, Michigan, his boyhood home.
                  Fort Custer National Military Reservation, near Augusta, Michigan, was built in 1917 on 130 parcels of land, as part of the military mobilization for World War I. During the war, some 90,000 troops passed through Camp Custer.
                  The establishment of Fort Custer National Cemetery (originally Fort Custer Post Cemetery) took place on September 18, 1943, with the first interment. On Memorial Day 1982, more than 33 years after the first resolution had been introduced in Congress, impressive ceremonies marked the official opening of the cemetery.[69]
                  Custer Hill is the main troop billeting area at Fort Riley, Kansas.
                  The US 85th Infantry Division was nicknamed The Custer Division.
                  The Black Hills of South Dakota is full of evidence of Custer, with a county, town, and the Custer State Park all located in the area.
                  The Custer house at Fort Lincoln, near present-day Mandan, North Dakota has been reconstructed as it was in Custer's day, along with the soldiers' barracks, block houses, etc. Annual re-enactments are held of Custer's 7th Cavalry's leaving for the Little Bighorn.[70]
                  On July 2, 2008, a marble monument to Brigadier General Custer was dedicated at the site of the 1863 Civil War Battle of Hunterstown in Adams County, Pennsylvania.
                  Custer Monument at the United States Military Academy was first unveiled in 1879. It now stands next to his grave in the West Point Cemetery

                          A rich kid loser?

                          Uh, no.

                          When you see his grooming, you think he is old, but that fool was only 36 when he died.

                            Einstein was born in Germany, kinda hard to be the greatest American when you are German.

                                If you are consistent, then you would put 100s of people ahead of him. Maybe even thousands. Is this some nostalgia about a 4th-grade book report or something. I did one on Geronimo.

                                                  Yeah, he was on that modern-day Boba Fett shit right there. I only watched several seasons (the middle seasons didn't do it for me): I watched the first season, and the last two seasons.

                                                    According to Sean Hannity, it's Sean Hannity

                                                    I nominate MLK Jr. He challenged our nation to recognize that our individual liberty relies upon our common equality. In communities marred by division and injustice, the movement he built from the ground up forced open doors to negotiation, and the strength of his leadership was matched only by the power of his words.
