General Alfred Terry: I want you to take a close look at your new command - the scum of the Earth. No enlisted man in uniform can be arrested or tried for any civil offense. That makes the Army a hideout for thieves, renegades, murderers... throw in a few foreign immigrants, professional soldiers and ex-Confederates and that's what's become of your glorious Seventh.
Quotes from Robert F. Simon movies and TV shows
General Alfred Terry: For the record, I don't like you. You're too sure of yourself, too much your own man.
Custer: Then why did you bring me back?
General Alfred Terry: Because, by the Almighty, you're a soldier. There's another kind of war brewing out here on the frontier. We're going to need every trained man we can get.
