25 years ago I got into a heated argument with a female Captain in the USAF that was flying one of the AWACS. I told her IMO it was folly for the military to do away with the requirement for horsemanship for some officers. She told me that with the modern military that horses were obsolete and we will never need them again. Fast forward to Afghanistan. The terrain and weather was so foul that it made the AWACS useless and the FAC’s and Special Forces had to use horses to negotiate the terrain and direct fire for combat air cover and artillery. The female was arrogant and ignorant and short sighted. This is what is now the upper echelon of our military. I hope we don't get into a war with a well supplied and organized enemy that doesn't cater to the homosexuals and females that weaken a military command.
