Occasionally the jib of military humor and rivalry seems quite serious if you're not in on it.
Like saying The Air Force is an honorable alternative to military service.
I've seen some folks get downright ruffled in the feathers about such remarks.
The armor-cavalry thing is along those lines too.
When I was in, both armor and cavalry were 19 series MOS, and thus both were Armor Branch.
Armor and Cavalry Regiments both had tanks at the time too.
The "contentious" line was between the Cav Scouts and Tankers about who were the REAL Cav.
We definitely agreed that Air Cav wasn't cavalry at all. If you dismount to fight, you're a dragoon.
