I think you would have been b****en when we got rid of the horses in the military. LOL
Here's the deal and history of the matter: the military adopted internal combustion vehicles, abandoning horses, after the ic technology had been PROVEN to be useful--as evidenced by the private sector success of Henry Ford, et al.
NOTHING like Ford's success has been shown in the private sector thus far.
But you keep dreamin' that Obama really wants a stronger military.
