    Yeah. The biggest empire of the ancient world was built on basically a 100% horse archer military and they didn’t seem to have too much of a problem.

    I feel like it would be different if he was citing some kind of history “look at the composition of all these armies, cavalry’s actually a really small part, look at these big battles where the horses were a liability and then they moved away from them after.” That’s history, whether or not it’s right or wrong, it’s based in fact. This whole thing sounds like “I ride horses and it’s a mess, cavalry doesn’t work, the end.”
