Reckless Marine SSg
Sometimes a real GOOD story comes along.
Reckless was a pack horse during the Korean war, and she carried recoil-less rifles, ammunition and supplies to Marines.
Nothing too unusual about that, lots of animals got pressed into doing pack chores in many wars.
But this horse did something more…. during the battle for a location called Outpost Vegas, this mare made 51 trips up and down the hill, on the way up she carried ammunition, and on the way down she carried wounded soldiers…
What was so amazing?
Well she made every one of those trips through enemy fire and without anyone leading her.
Here’s her story and photos to prove where she was and what she did….

Seems even a lot of military personnel don't know about this. I do think the average animal has far more intelligence than 99% of politicians.

I think that most of us would agree with you on that.

Honor, intelligence, power and heroism all comes from proper breeding with a little education thrown in completely unlike the morons running the country presently.
