As I've posted before:clear back in the Clinton days,the National Guard/Army Reserve were being trained in crowd control using bayonets .The 20 something co-worker who was in the program stated he would bayonet unarmed American citizens who were only passively resisting if he was ordered

Only tyrants demand their citizens be unarmed.

Only tyrants demand their citizens be unarmed.

The framers of the Constitution understood that very well. Placing that right before most others. I have absolutely no doubt that obama would use force, if he could, against his detractors. He seems to love tyrants, but wants to dismantle this country. "Remake" it. In his approved vision.

Was there ever a time that they were not given that training?

Many of us freepers can vouch for that training going back to our time in service into the early 1960s.

Here is a little photo of the 101st Airborne in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957.

...back in the Clinton days, the National Guard/Army Reserve were being trained in crowd control using bayonets.

How about back in the early 70s? National Guard in our basic training company split off from the main group to get training in crowd control, natural disaster support, etc.

One of the crowd control techniques they described was "Stomp and Drag". Fixed bayonets, solid line of troops, stomp foot, move forward and drag other foot. Apparently intimidating visually and audibly.
