Remember back in 2012 when that great military historian and strategist, Barack Obama, pointed out how bayonets were an anachronism?

“We also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military’s changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines.”

Then Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling decided to eliminate bayonet traininbg for the army.

Eliminated bayonet training?

Might as well end weapons training too and just teach the Troops how to spread unicorn dust.

I remember an old military saying...”IF YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO STICK’EM YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO SHOOT ‘EM.”
