What happened to George Armstrong Custer? He wasn't that bad of a general.

1stSgt Eugene Harless
He had the misfortune of being an above average leader for his age and branch in a war where he held a command no higher than a division. He was an aggressive commander but really had no major effect on planning or strategy. After the war he was reverted back to Lt Col and never commanded a unit larger than a regiment.
Custer was too brash and abrasive to be considered a great general.

There is one of the Greatest Military Minds of the 20th Century missing. Georgii Samoilovich Isserson was a Russian General who was instrumental in developing the "Deep Battle Doctrine" That the Soviets used to defeat Nazi Germany. He fell out of favor with Stalin and spent the war in a labor camp instead of in the army, but his written doctrine is what the Russian Generals used as a blueprint to crush the German Army.
