Bear Cavalry

why didnt we ever domesticate the bear? 7 feet tall, 500 lbs. seems like a no brainer
imagine being at the bottom of a hill with 50 soldiers on horses, and then seeing 20 guys coming down the hill on grizzly bears.

"Wojtek[1] (1942-1963; pronounced [ˈvɔjtɛk]) usually spelt Voytek in Britain, was a Syrian brown bear cub adopted by soldiers of the 22 Kompania Zaopatrywania Artylerii (22nd Artillery Supply Company) of the Polish II Corps. During the Battle of Monte Cassino, Wojtek helped to move ammunition."

Do some reading, he even caught a god dammed spy in a bathhouse!

this is fucking brilliant

yo that is badass. Grizzlies are hard as fuck to kill too.

such a good idea

i like that. gives a new meaning to the phrase going bear back

Haha when I first saw the title I thought you meant bears riding on horses!

I heard somewhere that bears can't run downhill because they're too big and they have shitty balance.

Fucking genius.
