They also pretty much have what amounts to an Air Force, called the Wonderbolts. They were originally shown as a flight group that puts on shows for ponies, but then ended up being depicted as also being called for emergencies. Then, in season 3, Rainbow Dash gets to go to Wonderbolts boot camp. Spitfire goes from her usual chill self to drill sergeant mode.

To be completely honest, when I first heard about bronies back in 2011, I thought they weren't real. I thought it was a huge elaborate prank from 4Chan. Heh...

But then, I started to realize it was a real thing, and I thought it was really, really weird that men were watching My Little Pony. All I could ask was "Why??" "Are they watching it ironically?" Then, I started to think "If they do actually like it, there must be something good about it, right?" Eventually, I got curious enough to check it out, and I've watched every episode since.
