"In Pursuit of Honor" is a 1995 made-for-cable movie directed by Ken Olin. Don Johnson stars as a member of a United States Cavalry detachment refusing to slaughter its horses after being ordered to do so by the US government. The movie follows the plight of the officers as they attempt to save the animals that the government no longer needs as it modernizes toward a mechanized army.

Tagline

* "As soldiers they were taught to fight for honor. As men they were willing to die for it."

ynopsis

The movie opens in 1932 when World War I veterans are rallying in Washington D.C. for war bonuses they were promised but never received from the government. The US Cavalry and infantry are present for crowd control. The mounted cavalry is ordered by Maj. John Hardesty (Gunton) to present their sabres in order to hold back the crowd. Sgt. John Libby (Johnson), along with three fellow soldiers, refuse to raise their swords because the demonstrators were men they served with during the war.
