to note- there is still an HORSE program at West Point -USMA-
U.S. Special Operations, members of Task Force Dagger, and Afghani forces ride into northern Afghanistan in October 2001 on horseback.

This sorry excuse for a President has no idea/clue other than Marxist ideology. The US Cavalry has a long and important historical aspect to the use and effectiveness of our equine friends. He is sinking faster than a submarine with a screen door. Now he can join the private sector and play battleship at his level of mentality.
R- like your analogies - sinking sub-screen door-battleship - they gave me a much needed gut laugh --thank you!
I'll bet money this idiot couldn't hold a job at McDonald's.
