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.
