Some of those who didn't were good people who did make sacrifices, but not all of them. Some were certainly not good people. Why should we commemorate them? Why should we commemorate Custer, for example?<br /> <br /> As the Indians might say, Custer had it coming. Did Custer make a sacrifice?

The brain has developed for feeding, fleeing, fighting and reproducing, after all.
