Semper Fidelis Sgt. Reckless

[@mallorys728]

They need a stakes race for her at 9 furlongs, for the 9,000lbs she carried. That would be pure awesomeness.

[@lindajnichols1628]

Yes they do. We have a special day at Saratoga to honor veterans. They should make it a complete day with the 'Reckless Stakes'.

[@cadorseeliger3926]

She pretty well hauled a tractor up a hill. Piece by piece. That's wild..

[@henryotgonbaatar2137]

This is why Genghis Khan conquered the whole Eurasia in less than 25 years with his prided Mongolian native breed horses and skilled archers

I'd never heard of Sgt. Reckless until just now. She had heart. 🥺 Thank you Music Biz Marty !

[@debrahelms5205]

I am so taken with Sgt Reckless that I am going to try to bring her story back to life.

[@bobmcglone6676]

That was one great horse. Loved the story.

[@irmajasso-mendez4333]

I.salute you.Sgt Reckless. Thk you for your incredible service and your legacy! In response to the commentator, there is a War Horse movie by Steven Spielberg but based on British WW1 war horses. SGT. RECKLESS needs her own.

[@BMK500]

Her life is also one the most hilarious/ Marine stories you’ll ever hear Just to give you a small taste. She only got into the US because the Marines logistically figured out a way to smuggle her in via Japan. Combat and heroics aside her story is wild

[@SynchronizorVideos]

Not only did they get her to the States, they also smuggled her out of customs so she could attend the Marine Corps Ball, where she enjoyed beer and cake with her Marine buddies. There are photos of her at that party, and they’re awesome.

[@jamesdelaney3797]

Yes a movie must be made of her

[@MajesticOak]

Reckless proving that all you need to become a SSgt is to ruck long distances, carry heavy loads, insane bravery, hard drinking, and eating anything & everything... just like many SSgt you may have know of.

[@robinraphael]

what a great beast of a horse

[@timothyblazer1749]

That general barely showed any respect for Reckless, even calling her "it" at one point. Shameful. Its clear HE doesn't think she was a Marine! 😡😡😡

[@ChefMattReviews]

I'm currently writing a screenplay based on the story of Reckless and the 5th Marines during the Battle of Outpost Vegas.

[@bridypow1947]

bred different xoxo LOVE TO FREE SPIRITS - you should see her wings xoxo

[@johnmorey9426]

ASTOUNDING

[@Alexander_könig]

I don't think they should have Guild it to babies. I do think that they should have left them. A stalian, so that way they can carry on the blood line.

[@wadeall8998]
