``And with that,'' said Wolfowitz, ``one of our amazing special forces members went off on a cavalry charge with a Northern Alliance commander.'' Man what a rush that must have been.

WOW
This might be their only chance to do something like this.

Anyone know the last time our forces were engaged in a cavalry charge? These guys are going down in the history books.

Not too long ago on FR, somebody posted something that mentioned how the Special Forces receive training in how to use and care for horses and mules.
This is why they do it.

our special forces have taken a page from the past, from the history of the horse cavalry with our soldiers armed with swords and rifles, maneuvering on horseback,'' Whoa! Garry Owen!!

U.S. Special Forces Joined Charge On Horseback Against Taliban
Wait long enough and everything eventually comes back into style!
There are some American soldiers who'll have some stories to tell the grandkids some day.
These lucky few should get some sort of recognition from the 7th Cavalry when hostilities are over!

They make a huge deal about using horses, but in reality
the country isn't made for jeeps even if they had them.
(And a jeep isn't exactly made for sneak and creep work.)
We are used to the idea of driving down roads or being flown around
by helicopter, but that isn't the way it works in most of the world.
Riding horses sure beats walking.

It was a new T-1 attack horse.
Just wait until we make a "stealth" horse. Or maybe that's been tried before.

``In Afghanistan, a country we think of in somewhat medieval terms, our special forces have taken a page from the past, from the history of the horse cavalry with our soldiers armed with swords and rifles, maneuvering on horseback,'' Wolfowitz said in a speech last night. I want the President to bring these guys forward and give them all special recognition for this. I am serious, this to me is the sign of a true and valiant warrior.
I am impressed!

I believe that the last cavalry charge in any war occured in the Soccer War in the late 1960s. The Army of El Salvador charged Honduran lines on horseback.
