Now apologize to your fellow NTers for spouting forth such rubbish...
Also Obama saying act of terror =/= Terrorist attack
Obama's implication was that the military doesn't use them, do you see horses on the battlefield in Afghanistan? Stop with the semantics.
Maybe you are just not understanding. IS THE MILITARY USING SECRETARIAT ON THE BATTLE FIELD? Are we using them less? No, right? Is the military using them at all? So his implication was insinuating that the troops do not use them.
You're wrong, just give it up, pleighboi.
Military Mounts at Fort Bragg
From equine ambassadors to military trainers, the horses of Fort Bragg serve important jobs for our country.
By Cindy Hale
Although the glory days of the United States Cavalry are long gone, horses still serve the military. At Smith Lake Stables, adjacent to Fort Bragg, N.C., 36 horses are owned by the U.S. government and serve their country in two assignments. In one assignment, they act as equine ambassadors, linking the civilian public to the military. The horses are used in an annual summer camp program and in weekly day camp activities for home-schooled kids. But the horses’ most important role is their real job. They help prepare active duty personnel, particularly Army Special Forces troops, for challenges in foreign countries.
“The first time we used our horses to train Special Forces was right after 9/11,” explains Mark Rossignol, business manager for Smith Lake Stables. Fort Bragg is home to the U.S. Army’s Special Operations Forces. “They were being sent to Afghanistan, and often the only way they can travel over there is by horse.”
The rocky terrain found in remote areas of Afghanistan isn’t easy to traverse, even by jeep. Native horses become a mode of transportation. Pack animals, especially donkeys, also become familiar partners. For some of America’s elite troops, however, knowledge of horses and their four-legged relatives isn’t familiar territory. The first time they actually halter a horse, saddle it and ride it may be at Smith Lake Stables.
“That’s why the only horses we get, that the government buys, are what we call dead broke,” Rossignol says. “We can’t afford to have anyone get hurt.”
But there’s more to it than just learning about tacking up and riding a horse, Rossignol says. The troops also learn herd management and how to treat common equine health issues affecting equines.

So apparently Donald Trump is going to reveal that Barack & Michelle almost got divorced..
This is his game changer..
I don't think he realizes that if he wants to this would be a huge PR win for Obama and raise his chances to win him the election.
For all intents and purposes think about it: The Obama's hit a rough patch in the marriage, thought about divorce. Instead they stayed together, supported each other, raised their kids together, and now have a good marriage...
Trump is an idiot.
Same here. Never i have i seen smear campaigns this intense. The 2008 and 20012 campaigns have been the worst i've ever seen. The John kerry smears to bush doesn't even come close to what has happened the past 4 years. According to republicans obama is a Muslim, terrorist, marxist, socialist, illegal immigrant, and now a divorcee?What a clown. This election def showed me what a circus act this all really is.
Trump is just mad he paid out all that alimony.So apparently Donald Trump is going to reveal that Barack & Michelle almost got divorced..
