Love it, it captures that youthful ambition and hunger for glory in the cavalry but it's also not blind to the danger of war and the very real possibility of death.
I don't think the author is being ironic and trying to write a glib anti war protest song. What I get is a celebration of the noble ambition of young soldiers while being aware of the awful danger of their calling.
