SGT (Join to see) Never thought it was right to use horses in a war. They are the target of the enemy.

Makes plain that one of the recurring tragedies of war is that old generals routinely hold fast to outmoded tactics.
Genuine innovations are often starved of resources so that some general can continue to relive his halcyon days on the parade grounds.

SGT (Join to see), the 2011 film, War Horse, shows horses utilized during WWI, not only in the offense, but also as beasts of burden. It's a painful movie to watch.
