ok, bear with me, this is a bit of a stretch from cool things with wheels, unless you appreciate the solemn magnitude of a military funeral, with full ceremony, and the traditional horse drawn cart. But there's a catch. The Army has NOT been treating the horse well. WTF?

The Army has just recently resumed caisson operations at Arlington National Cemetery after an investigation found the horses in those units were mistreated, left to graze in lots with little grass, leading them to consume sand and gravel. Two horses died in 2022, and caisson operations were suspended until earlier this year.

The Arlington National Cemetery horses are part of the caisson platoon of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, known as the Old Guard, which is best known for guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the cemetery, located just across the river from Washington.

So, I'm effing outraged. Who the actual fuck mistreats the ceremony horses? The FUNERAL horses, and WHAT ARMY asshole officer was in charge of that and how fast can he be court martialed? Two horses DIED? 

So, yeah, that gets posted, put out on blast. And the Army assholes that didn't treat the horses in their squad/regiment/battalion/unit/command (whatever the hell the right military term is) and get sent straight to the middle east after being busted to E1, for a couple years of baking. That ought to be as close to hell as the Army can arrange. And reminder, some god damn officers were on the damn golf course instead of checking in on the horses. 

Oh and it was the 3rd Infantry Regiment. Just so the assholes are clearly identified, and put on public shame.
