Queensryche doesn't just do little things. Even if this is about Little Bighorn, there are way bigger things this song has to do with. This has to do with any massacre, metaphorical or physical. Any government that lies to its people, any government that kills its own is despicable.
Additionally, this song appears to be told from the point of view of a group of survivors. In the face of a government that did nothing or did the wrong thing, the survivors did what they could, even though it might not have been the most right thing either.
All in all, it shows how a government has to care for its people and pay attention to them instead of deluding them "for their own good."
