As I've posted before:clear back in the Clinton days,the National Guard/Army Reserve were being trained in crowd control using bayonets .

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.

Was there ever a time in U.S. history that the military SHOULD have used bayonets on unarmed peaceful protesters?

The sad fact is that the Army of the United States has been used on occasion to suppress domestic freedom,was used to evict native Indians from land both traditional and recognized by treaty, and members of the military have committed atrocities in our own Civil War and foreign wars.That these heinous acts are rare is no reason to ignore or guard against the possibility of future such acts,both to protect ourselves and the honor of the military.
