#20, you heard the same thing I did, SF in light uniforms

[Dengar01]

Hey I was getting excited. I want to see our troops shooting the Taliban while on the horses, I think that would be pretty cool.

[Aria]

This is so cool. Can't wait to give them a hero's welcome home.

[katze]

When Rivero was here, he added link to his website to virtually every bit of nonsense he posted. Lighten up; if JimRob doesn't like it, he'll say so.

I still think we need to develop a lazer guided weapon that mounts to the saddle horn for times like this.ha! And I could swear that one of those special ops looks a lot like General Custer.Maybe he's getting his revenge?

[GreenLanternCorps]

If they can do that then they are Cav!

'course it would be really cool to give 'em some lances...

CHARGE!!!

Stick the Taliban like pigs.

[DeaconBenjamin]

Call them dragoons?

[Catie]

Just wait for the PETA folks to complain about mule abuse!

[katze]

#43 Here I just defended you, and you had to try to get "cute".

[Alas]

Rumsfeld showed these pictures this a.m. on Fox News on some plane going somewhere.

A reporter asked Rumsfeld what he thought when he saw the special forces on horseback. Rumsfeld replied, "I think I see some very special young people." YOu could hear the love and admiration in his voice.

I just love Reumsfeld interviews and press briefings. He's just as honest and straightforward as Bush and Cheney. Tells it like it is. what a breath of fresh air!

[Lauratealeaf]

John Wayne Rumsfeld and the Cowboys rides again!

[Dengar01]

Call them dragoons?

Oh I like that. Or if they were given lances it could be like Braveheart, hell send in some of the cast from Midevil Times.

[katze]

#72 I really like him; he's in charge and everyone knows it. Overall, I believe he is Bush's best pick.

[afraidfortherepublic]

That donkey looks pretty well packed..ha!

On Fox News, Rumsfeld said he thought the donkey under that load looked like a "cousin to my [Rumsfeld's] donkey, Mo."

[b fair]

Just wait for the PETA folks to complain about mule abuse!

I would much rather see the mules abusing PETA folks.

[Abn1508]

IT turns out that the SF, up until fairly recently (it probably got killed under Clinton) maintained a "muleskinner" training program, that is how to handle mules for pack transport.

Looks like time to expand their training basis.

[NautiNurse]

Q: So what does that say about how things are being fought in Afghanistan?
Rumsfeld: It says that we have some terrific young people.

It also says we have terrific leadership that will do whatever it takes to win. Bravo--and tally-ho!
