| That's why Patton said, "Few men are killed by the bayonet, many are scared by it. Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts." If we aren't using bayonets we can't follow Patton's immortal advice in the first part. That's why I think we should revert back to the 12inch triangular bayonet and make it a regular part of training so when they go out and fight they will have their bayonets attached as soon as they start shooting and then they will easily overcome any nutcase trying to attack them with a helmet. Whew. Does this make sense? |
