    The question is, and always will be, “ Which POTUS?”

    The buck stops with most presidents for the acts of commission and omission by their respective administration, except of course President #45 who never admits to wromg doing, instead deflecting blame on to others, or feigning ignorance. :rolleyes:

    well, Wounded knee occurred during Benjamin Harrison's administration. that is a brute historical fact.

    Wounded Knee was a consequence of President Harrison's Indian pacification and sequestration program. Suppression of the American Indian's 'Ghost Dancer' movement was just the blue touch paper that he lit....a clear violation of the US Constitution's First Amendment's religious freedoms clauses....except that at that time American Indians were non-citizens. So yes, the buck does stop with Harrison....the Army was just the blunt instrument of his administration's domestic policies with regard to the American Indians.

    Actually the revolutionary war would be the first documented killings of Civilians by the American Military.

    Comparing wounded knee and invoking the Snyder Act of 1924 into this is not even comparing apple and oranges.......... it more like comparing pumpkins to pecans. May as well toss in the IRA Act of 1934 which is what the ICA (Snyder Act) was the set up for. A very large leap from Government Sponsored Genocide to what is going on in the here and now.
