"Calvary" again

[Jonathan Lighter]

John Dibble is identified as an attorney who "specializes in matters related to national security and foreign policy" in Jan C. Scruggs, ed., _The War and the Wall_ (Washington, D.C.: Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, 2002), p. 42. In a brief article, Dibble writes as follows:

  "a platoon leader in the 2nd Battalion, 7th Calvary" (p. 43)

  and

  "the tradition of the 7th Calvary" (p. 45).

  Those are the only appearances of the word "cavalry" in the book.
