[@meaganhughes4812]

Learning about the Calvary as my son is currently in training to become a cav scout. Thanks!

[@TheBrokenScout-kl8qx]

Right on. I was a cavalry scout for 17 years. Good times.

[@katuu9572]

I thought the cavalry didn’t exist anymore?

[@TheBrokenScout-kl8qx]

[@ethanduke2131]

Scouts out

[@The737pilot26]

Really well edited and made video as a history buff I really enjoyed learning about this

[@chrisnewton5126]

Thanks for this. I’m a direct descendant of Capt. Sam Morris who led the 1st City Troop Phila. Cavalry in the War of Independence.

[@KateFergeson]

Thank you so much for posting. Cavalry historians thank you 🙏🏽 😉 🐎 ⚔️💥

[@calebpepper391]

To the one complainer would you rather no documentary and having to look it up on Wikipedia. Also If you think you can do better with it make one yourself.Lmao This series by far one of the best I’ve seen.

[@stephenryder1995]

My father was a trooper with Troop C, 16th U.S. Cavalry at Fort Sam Houston Texas in 1916. He was on a horse and trained with a saber. The Boss was General John "Black Jack" Pershing hunting the Mexican Bandito Pancho Villa. My dad lost his right arm in a battle at Eagle pass outside of Marfa Texas. He was 19 years old. He returned to New York, worked at the Veterans Administration's Regional Office in Manhattan, and retired as Chief Unit Supervisor after advocating for veterans for 20 years. My oldest brother served with the cavalry in WW II, Korea, and Vietnam retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel, his sons - my nephews, both retired as Lt. Colonels after service in the Air Cav in Vietnam.

Only 31 minutes late and WoW awesome series.

[@morenofranco9235]

Excellent Start. Thank you LionHeart.

[@the1magageneral323]

The early days of the Calvary were trial by error and how to build them into an effective fighting force.

[@debfairchild4108]

This is excellent!

[@AASLT405]

I’m very proud and Iove being apart of this lineage!!! BlackHawks!!! Scouts Out!! If you ain’t CAV……!!!!!!

[@aaronsanborn4291]

I served in the oldest and longest continually serving unit in the U.S. Military, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment (Jan 1997-March 2002) formed in May 1836 at Jefferson Barracks Missouri and having actively served ever since. Once a Dragoon always a Dragoon. Remember your Regiment and follow your officers. Toujours Pret (Always Ready).

[@anthonyanderson5302]

Isn't 1st battalion 201st field artillery older and longer continuously serving? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/201st_Field_Artillery_Regiment

[@Daniel-z5r2y]

2nd ACR isn't even the longest serving Cavalry Regiment. 104th Cav was established pre Revolution.

[@gallantcavalier3306]

Wow do I love this series!!!!

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

This may sound silly, but was that the Mexican Stand Off? Do you know? Glad to meet you. 🇦🇺

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

AGAIN THANK YOU so much. I surely am relieved to learn that the welfare of the horses was prioritised. I now think that war is like science and art, but it’s just my opinion. ‘We’re saved, HERE COMES THE CAVALRY!!!’ What a hopeful feeling. Thank you to troopers fighting for freedom, not many of us are so brave. 🌟🌟🌟

[@KateFergeson]

God Bless you Kathryn!

[@fredwilliams9264]

[@recon2g65]

I was a scout in Schweinfurt in 2004-2010. Great place. Sad to see what it’s become.

[@GlazSh0tJFK]

Funny, I’m related to Benjamin Talmadge

[@zach7193]

I've seen some parts of the series about the US cavalry. It's interesting.

[@jesseseven301]

1832 Mounted Rangers are legendary.

[@sonofthemorningstar6566]

Former Cavalry Scout 1/5 cavalry. SCOUTS OUT!!!!!!!

[@anti-Russia-sigma]

Disagreed,as aircraft has never replaced horses.

[@WardMan75]

On the modern battlefield they sure have.

[@princegroove]

Welp, it’s game over for the enemy whenever the US cavalry arrives!

[@the1magageneral323]

There's a debate who is the father of the US Calvary!

[@freddy8479]

It's been long said that it was Gen. Casimir Pulaski.

[@rvail136]

This entire series is nonsensical. There is no real narrative of the evolution of the cavalry arm. Every episode jumps not just decade to decade, but century to century. Its a terrible documentary.

[@calebpepper391]

Yah ok then why don’t make one if you think you can do better? Considering it is about Cavalry why not start with The origins of horsemanship. Where in the definition of a documentary does it say it has to cover decade by decade of a certain timeframe.

[@matthewmartin9649]

i was in 2nd acr which is now second cavalry or 2nd dragoons, pretty cool tattoo haha
