Little Bighorn

This is the first article about the 7th Cav I've ever read that completely omits any mention of Custer or Little Bighorn. That's kind of like writing an article on George Washington and forgetting the part where he was president. - Hephaestos 04:12, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

True... thanks for relating to me the need for that information :-). ugen64 03:55, Mar 18, 2004 (UTC)

Actually, inside the Army, Custer is only mentioned as one of the first commanders of the Regiment, and litle more. The Massacre is totally glossed over, and the unit was restored as if it never ceased to exist. SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 22:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, all the 7th did was "being present" at the Wounded Knee Massacre? Hm... --Odoakerston 12:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The current version of the article corrects these obvious oversights. --Habap 14:46, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Imperialism

The 7th Cavalry is often cited as being a symbol of American imperialism. An article that doesn't discuss that is as biased as an article that just discusses the force structure of the Nazi military. -ArekExcelsior

So you are comparing America to the Nazi military??? Why is somebody who is a self proclaimed anarchist allowed to defame the US military on Wikipedia? This is a travesty.

Some would say that this article is biased. You should put a criticisms paragraph in every single article in wikipedia. I usually only see criticism paragraphs in articles related to the USA.

No, I am not (at least in this argument) comparing the US to the Nazi military. Read carefully, please. I simply stated that an "objective" overview of a force structure without mention of its alleged (not even seriously questioned, at least not pre-Korea) particular involvement in arguable genocide is not even remotely NPOV. The removal of the criticism section smacks of a violation of NPOV and also leaves out a historically quite frequent and very specific criticism of this very unit. My criticism contribution was phrased neutrally and made clear the sources of criticism (if I could find rebuttals to claims, I would note them as well).

The anarchist bit is an ad hom runby, nothing else. My political opinions do not disqualify me from contributing about the military. As far as criticism being needed elsewhere, I'm absolutely sure the format needs to be improved to include criticism when it is historically available and frequent, I was just editing the particular topic I saw.

Location

Although the 4th Squadron is listed at Camp Casey, it is really Camp Hovey (yes, part of the same "enclave" and connected, But there was a world of difference between the two camps for us over there.) If proof is needed, I'm sure I can dig some up somewhere.--71.87.188.160 08:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
