“This would explain why a ‘soldier’ in Darfur would stick his bayonet through a four year old girl then hold her body aloft as her blood rained down on him.”

I defy anyone to hold a 35 pound body on a bayonet over their head. I seriously doubt it is possible without having the body slide down the rife.

I don't know. That's what it said in the book.

Is 35 lbs normal for a four year old? I know a four year old and she is really little but I don't know how much she weighs.

You claim VietNam experience, yet doubt that a bayonetted small child can be held overhead. There is testimony from as far back as the FIRST WORLD WAR that this has occured.

Simple friction equations say it's not that hard, especially when the bayonet puncture is FAR smaller than the total area of the bayonet plus the flatted front surface of the rifle. Add the bone and the bayonet mount into the equation, and it's obvious you're talking through your posterior orifice, and it smells like 0bama to me.

IOW, you have absolutely NOT A FREAKING clue as to what you claim expertise in.

I am not be a vet, but I have LONG been a student of history.

Don't make claims you cannot prove.
