Lets bring back the cavalry! add camels now that we are in the middle east and mules too! Why not— they can be cheap and run on hay not gas.
“Lets bring back the cavalry! add camels now that we are in the middle east and mules too!”
There once was a Camel Corps in the US Army.
It was an experiment in the Southwest conducted in the 1850s by President Franklin Pierce’s Secretary of War Jefferson Davis. (Yes, that Jeff Davis). Camels were brought over from the mideast and based in Camp Verde, Texas.
The Civil War ended the experiment. Some of the camels escaped and wild camels were spotted well into the 20th century.
