So we're going to start outfitting ourselves again?

I would love to see you strap a 250 year old bayonet to an M16A2.
On a serious note, the fact that we DO "give a crap" about the Geneva Convention and the "Laws of War" is what makes us the good guys. I pray that I never see the day that we stop. And you're right, that is a bit more than "slightly off-topic."
Besides, I thought you were training to be a pastor? Isn't that a bit in the opposite direction of where you're headed with this bayonet stuff?
