It’s hardly the most pressing matter before us as a nation. The Army has announced that some Cavalry units will be deactivated, and the horses adopted out as a cost-savings measure. While it’s true that we, generally, don’t use horses in battle anymore, they were used by the ODA (Green Berets) in Afghanistan early on. The horse units now are mostly ceremonial or competitive. The cost savings is only projected to be about $2 million, which is hardly a drop in the bucket. We need to study this a bit more.
