Baronets are obsolete. Except in the circumstances where they’re just the right thing. Most Air Force guys will never need a bayonet. I know, I did 24 years in the USAF. And the last dozen I spent in a field where we were often in charge of our own security in hostile territory. There were a few times when I’d have liked to have one. Didn’t actually NEED it, but... Could have. Heck, infantry is obsolete. Unless you actually want to hold the territory you just occupied. Then you need them desperately. Even a nuclear armed F-35 can’t hold territory. Might possibly be able to deny it to the enemy, but absolutely cannot hold it.

Wait till you see the space pigs and chickens. Gotta eat, gotta get places. You think it would be just us going places?

The Army did have a brief camel force in the West. They were eventually released and were sometimes spotted 10 years later.

Seems like he actually offered regular elephants.
