Appears these massacres are
all over the eastern papers.
:26:19
Flags are flying at half-mast.
:26:22
Residents declared
a day of mourning.
:26:25
Tell me General.
:26:27
Why did you choose
the Army as career?
:26:32
Telegram came from
the War Department.
:26:35
Shall I read it, sir?
:26:37
"To General
George Armstrong Custer.
:26:40
You are hereby relived
of command...
:26:43
...and suspended
from active duty.
:26:47
You are ordered to report
to Washington D. C...
:26:49
...within 30 days from
receipt of this telegram...
:26:53
...to appear before
a U.S. Congressional...
:26:55
...Committee investigating
conditions...
:26:59
...in the Indian territory".
Looks like Washington's...
:27:03
...looking for somebody
to blame for the massacre.
:27:06
Go on.
:27:09
"Marcus Reno will assume
command of this...
:27:12
...regiment immediately,
signed...
:27:15
...Philip Sheridan.
Commander".
:27:22
Stand up, Major.
:27:28
As the new officer in command,
do you have any changes in mind?
:27:32
- Yes.
- I made this command.
:27:37
I like it that way it is,
is that clear?
:27:39
Yes, sir.
:27:41
When this Washington
thing is over...
:27:48
...l'll be back.
:27:50
Make no mistake.
:27:53
I'll be back.
