“but you are being silly and lying when you misquote “Army Reserves” as meaning the active Army.”

You seemed to have missed the point. Someone in the Cavalry Reserves was not active, and it is a bit misleading to pretend that Reagan had years of service as a cavalry officer. He rode horses with the reserves for a while. When he went full time, in 42, he almost immediately transferred to public affairs, where he spent 3 years. He was a darn good rider, much better than I’ll ever be, but he wasn’t a “true cavalryman”.

No it isn’t, and I don’t know why you want to claim that, I served int the Army and then years later in the Army National Guard, in some units in the Guard and Reserves, you can have a ball, for instance in Green Beret, Ranger, and SEAL units, and fighter jets, etc. my guess is that in the late 1930s or at any time, Cavalry in the Reserves was as well.

Ronald Reagan had five years of being a Cavalry officer, he was absolutely a true cavalryman.

You reveal something odd during this bizarre anti-military rant, you keep describing Reagan’s 5 years of cavalry service as “”He rode horses with the reserves for a while.””, repeatedly you describe his 5 years Cavalry military service that way.

Trying to deny that a Cavalry officer with a Cavalry MOS, leading Calvary in a Cavalry unit for 5 years is not cavalry, is absolutely bizarre.
