Three observations:

1) At 1:07 on the first video, the soldier has his bayonet fixed. When is the last time a NATO soldier actually killed an enemy with a bayonet?

2) These guys seemed so bleedin calm throughout the whole thing that I expected to see them yawn at any moment. It seemed more like an exercise for them.

3) The local troopers seemed about as dangerous to friendlies as the enemy.

Since the US is part of NATO: there is an event from OIF I where some number of Marines were about to be overrun, then they fixed bayonets and, under suppressive fire, charged and slaughtered the enemy completely. I thought about buying them all wheel barrows so they can truck around their enormous balls.

I saw these clips on the news not too long ago. Caught my attention quickly.

Nice find Redleg. I was about to mention that engagement.

The bayonet is not redundent, it as much a viable weapon as ever before.

That is not a bad thing.

One bad thing though. In the 2nd video, there a bloke standing for ages, from 06:00 secs onwards.
He's asking for trouble.
