First of all, Custer was not ambushed at the Little Big Horn. He saw the encampment and in his arrogance he had no doubt that he would conquer the "savages". So Custer disobeyed a direct command not to engage the Indians, and attacked. He was out thought, outmanned and outmaneuvered by not only the Sioux but the cheyenne, Arapaho and a few from other tribes.

Did Custer make the right decision at the Battle of Bighorn?
The encampment at the Little Big Horn included thousands of men, women and children. Custer went in with 2 other factions of soldiers though he did not wait for them to catch up. The men with him counted fewer than 300. Even if the men who were still circling around to reach their attack points had taken part in the battle, I believe, that the anger the Native People felt toward previous massacres would have left the Little Big Horn with a similar ending no matter what.Another ViewpointHow can the battle at the Little Big Horn be viewed as somebody's "right decision?" Everybody died. EVERYBODY. Custer was a prima donna and a fool, and he led his vaunted 7th into an inescapable bloodbath. Custer richly deserved his fate, but I pity the men who served -- and died -- with him.
