Mongol horses are so smart that it could memorize and find its way home from anywhere. There is a story where one Mongolian horse rode back to Mongolia by itself after being sold to Vietnam.

Lets not distract us from the fact, that this loyal horse had another plundering, killing rapist on his back. This ain’t operation Dumbo Drop

Gunny SGT Joseph Latham is my father-in--law who mainly trained her in the Korean War. I married his youngest daughter Anna in 2003. She can fill you in on more about Mr Latham. This video is fairly accurate, very well done. Cheers.

Amazing! Glad to know has the approval of at least one member of the family. Very gratifying. The video is based in large part on the writings of Andrew C. Geer, who also served in Marine Corps in Korea.

@@Real_History Thank you so much in replying. It's great seeing these videos about Reckless. There had been talks of a movie back in the 1990s if I remember correctly. A writer had spoken with Mr Latham and his daughters for a bit, but really nothing had come out of that. But again, thank you for the wonderful video. Cheers mate and God Bless you. ^^

I always wondered did Kim Huk Moon ever find out what happened to Flame after he sold her? That his beloved horse would become a hero beloved by the Marine Corps

@mistablm Ай бұрын

They have a statue of her in Korea so I think he might. I really hope he found out everything she accomplished, he would be so proud.

She was originally purchased as a mascot. Not as a work horse.

Not according to Andrew Geer, who was serving in the 5th Marine Regiment during the Korean War, made extensive notes about Reckless throughout his tour of duty and later wrote a book about her in 1955.

Did you give your thousand dollars to a Marine Corps charity after making this video?

@Real_History 9 ай бұрын

Are you suggesting I was paid to make this video?

@Equinerhael 8 ай бұрын

@@Real_Historyno, they aren't suggesting that. After the war, if a company wanted Reckless to endorse their product, she had to like it, first. If she did, then the company would donate $1,000 to a Marine charity.
