As I am sure others will point out, this particular event with the horses didn't occur, as the cavalry wasn't officially disbanded until 1946 or so, and the cavalry horses were actually sold.
But that is beside the point. The story is fake, but it's talking about real stuff. Like most everyone else today, the hardest thing I've had to do is work two jobs to pay the bills. This film is about people to whom words like honor, duty, and country aren't something just seen in a dictionary. Much like the Colonel said to Buxton, I hope to God I could do the same if placed in an ethical quandary on that scale.
