Bayonet Co. slices Obama to shreds: "He should educate himself"

[Necrosis]

What in the hell is you definition of standard issue? Every Marine that goes into combat has his bayonet. Is that not standard issue enough for you?

no. Unless they are on horse back charging hard on the ships.

[Shockwave]

no. Unless they are on horse back charging hard on the ships.

Check, bayonet's only count as issued if they are mounted whilst charging, on horseback, onto ships.

hahaha, he is from europe dont you know!!!

[SLYY]

Shockwave,

You have used the following adjectives when describing Obama and his "bayonet comment":

1.  "Moronic"
2.  "Stupid"
3.  "Ignorant"
4.  "Idiotic"

Then YOU back up your Obama attack and adjectives by stating that:

It was a pretty moronic comment by Obama. His comment wasn't that they win wars, it was that there aren't many of them left, which is totally stupid and ignorant.

No one is arguing this, just that his comment was idiotic. Bayonets are still used in the military and are still very important.

So, after YOU used ALL THOSE ADJECTIVES to describe Obama and his bayonet comment, I must ask YOU:



1) When did Obama say, "there weren't many [bayonets] left?"

2) When did Obama say bayonets are not "used in the military" and that bayonets are not "very important"?

fewer than in 1916.

/thread.

[blacken700]

it's the repub spin, they can't even admit romney loss the debate

[Option D]

I can only go off what he said, and I know that Marines still carry their bayonets when they go into combat. They don't get used nearly as much, but they still have them.

Thats exactly what obama said bro

[Primemuscle]

Does our military, as President Obama told Mitt Romney last night, have fewer bayonets than it did in 1916? Almost certainly.

But that doesn’t mean the bayonet has gone the way of the cavalry horse or the arrow.

U.S. Marines still train on bayonets in boot camp. Many Marines still are issued bayonets as standard equipment. But the Army discontinued bayonet training at its basic training facilities in 2010.

"You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets."

Yes, I have to eat crow on this one. His comment is probably accurate. I took it out of context, inferring that he was saying that bayonet's are no longer issued very much in the military.

[whork]

They did decide WW1 though, right?

Doubt it.

With planes, machineguns etc bajonets is not really that relevant

[whork]

Of course its not practiced as much. But it's there for when you need it. It's attached in dire situations, when you know fighting is going to be at arms reach, such as if you're overrun, or low on ammo, or going to charge an enemy position.

You charge on an enemy position with the bajonet

You should the fuckers you dont use a bajonet. WTF

How many AQ and Taleban has been killed by bajonets lately?

[whork]

hahaha, he is from europe dont you know!!!

Yes the continent you grand fathers emigrated from because the losers could not make there.

[whork]

I like you Shockwave it takes a man to admit he is wrong.

We are all wrong from time to time we are only human but if we dont acknowledge it we never learn from it.

Thats why you see guys like 33.... , Tony and Fury get dumber and dumber every day and its also the reason i dislike FOX so much.

Anyway you have my respect

[flipper5470]

The horses and bayonets comment was odd...really odd.  There's over a half a million bayonets out there amongst the different branches of the service...is it more or less than 1916?  I don't know, but that's a fuck of a lot of bayonets any way you slice it.  Trying to minimialize that number is kinda foolish.

The horses thing is odd given this story....

Making light of the role of mounted soldiers on the day a monument to them is dedicated at ground zero reinforces the notion that he is insensitive re the sacrifices made by our military....it's just not an optimal response.   It's a shame he had to be a dick about it.  How we allocate resources and what the needs of the military will be going forward is a legitimate topic for discussion.  What will constitute an effective Navy ...in light of China an Russia's naval build ups...is an issue we'll have to come to grips with.   The President owes the country more than a smart assed remark

[headhuntersix]

You charge on an enemy position with the bajonet

You should the fuckers you dont use a bajonet. WTF

You should really stick to sucking Obama's cock and defending liberal bullshit...anything remotely about the military, you should run screaming. Google Sutherland Highlanders among others.


The British Army performed bayonet charges during the Falklands War (see Battle of Mount Tumbledown), the Second Gulf War, and the war in Afghanistan.[35] In 2004 in Iraq at the Battle of Danny Boy, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders bayonet charged mortar positions filled with over 100 Mahdi Army members. The ensuing hand to hand fighting resulted in an estimate of over 40 insurgents killed and 35 bodies collected (many floated down the river) and 9 prisoners. Sergeant Brian Wood, of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, was awarded the Military Cross for his part in the battle.[36] This engagement brought to notice the tactical use of the weapon for close combat and the sheer psychological effect it can have.
 
British forces in Afghanistan have used bayonets on numerous occasions. In 2009, Lieutenant James Adamson, aged 24, of the Royal Regiment of Scotland was awarded the Military Cross for a bayonet charge whilst on a tour of duty in Afghanistan: after shooting one Taliban fighter dead Adamson had run out of ammunition when another enemy appeared. Adamson immediately charged the second Taliban fighter and bayoneted him.[37] In September 2012, Lance Corporal Sean Jones of The Princess of Wales's Regiment was awarded the Military Cross for his role in a bayonet charge which took place in October 2011.[38]

Obama said that we use LESS HORSES AND BAYONETS....he didn't say we didn't use them at all...


That being said....it was a good zinger
