Talk:Hal Moore/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Custer should not be listed as a major general. He was never a major general, only a brevet bridgadier general during the Civil War. That rank is temporary in nature and upon conclusion of the Civil War Custer was demoted back to Captain; he was a Lieutenant Colonel commanding the 7th Calvary when he died. It is wholly inaccurate to state that he was "Major General George C. Custer" and it contradicts the rest of the sentence: a major general commands a division, not a battalion.
