  &quot;So much artillery that the sound of individual explosions gave way to a constant roar&quot;<br><br>&quot;I&apos;m sorry, your hearing loss is not service-related&quot;

  The fact that her Marines went out of their way to threaten a man, stayed with her because they didn&apos;t trust anyone, then broke her out of a government facility too take her to a party for beer and cake is just about the most Marine thing that I have ever heard.

  Before today, I had never heard about Reckless. I&apos;m now convinced she&apos;s not just the greatest American War Horse, she <b>is</b> America&apos;s War Horse.

  EVERYTHING in this story, the heroism, shenanigans, F-ups, recoveries, and BS from bureaucrats and upper staff, makes it quite possibly the most USMC story ever.

  Always love to hear how Marines live by &quot;never leave a man behind&quot; even if it&apos;s a female horse. Semper fi

  People underestimate the love humans put towards animals. Even a shop cat can be a huge morale boost.

  South Korean here, where Reckless fought during the war now stands a historical park(google 고랑포구 역사공원).<br>There is a statue of Reckless in the center, even a VR game literally called &quot;save reckless&quot;; literally protecting Reckless whilst carrying ammo for the marine corps.<br>The historical park has a cafeteria on the first floor, and I shit you not, it is run by a cooperative named &quot;Reckless Coop(레클리스 협동조합)&quot;.<br>I am glad the Korean War gets some coverage. Thank you for saving us 70 years ago. :&gt;

  My Grandfather was at Outpost Carson in Korea during the war and he and his crew heard the stories of Wreckless and one of the Brits laughed and said how ridiculous to which my grandfather replied, &quot;We&apos;re fighting over a set of fucking hills on the other side of the planet and you think a horse is ridiculous?&quot;<br><br>While he never got to meet Wreckless, he and his crew knew damn well who she was.
