Little Big Horn

[Taosman]

So, to sum up:

Custer is no hero. If he did have a technological bris and accepted the A-Bomb for use on that day, he might indeed have killed 1,000,000 Japanese and become president. However, in the process, he would have destroyed Little Bighorn National Monument, which is a national treasure.

Actually this is quite prescient as the A-bomb test site at White Sands has become a national monument and is visited regularly.(although no indians died in the making of it as far as we know)

Umm... no.

There is a White Sands National Monument that is within the White Sands Missile range, but, it's been designated as such since well before WWII.

Fail.

White Sands National Monument - A Short History of White Sands National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)

Formal recognition for the uniqueness of the white sands of southern New Mexico came on January 18, 1933, when President Herbert Hoover, acting under the authority of the "Antiquities Act of 1906", proclaimed and established a White Sands National Monument. The monument story, however, can be traced to the waning years of the 19th century and is linked to the nationwide growth of the "national park" idea that followed the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872.

Semantics.

Since 1953, the White Sands Missile Range has conducted open houses at Trinity Site which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975. On the first Saturdays of April and October, visitors may tour Ground Zero (above) and the historic McDonald Ranch where the Bomb was assembled. And thousands of people show up to visit Trinity.
