Marines still use bayonnets Obama should get educated

[tinydancer]

Too funny! From part of the article:


According to the official U.S. Marine Corps website, every Marine is STILL required to complete a bayonet training program … because “the weapon becomes just as effective [as a rifle] in close combat situations.”

We spoke with Dan Riker from Bayonet Inc. — a leading military surplus outlet that specializes in bayonets — who tells us he believes Obama’s comment was “ignorant … because our soldiers still use bayonets.”

He adds, “[Bayonets] are still distributed to the military all the time — he should get educated on it.”



Libs really look like assholes over this. I love it!

Not only that, but our military still uses horses.

“The first time we used our horses to train Special Forces was right after 9/11,” explains Mark Rossignol, business manager for Smith Lake Stables. Fort Bragg is home to the U.S. Army’s Special Operations Forces. “They were being sent to Afghanistan, and often the only way they can travel over there is by horse.”

The rocky terrain found in remote areas of Afghanistan isn’t easy to traverse, even by jeep. Native horses become a mode of transportation.

Looks like Obama made an ass of himself.....again.

Do Democrats who loved Obama's little joke even realize Romney was simply repeating what Obama's own Def Sec Said? It was Panetta who first used the WWI analogy.

Except he never said they didn't use bayonets or horses, just not as many. Why do y'all keep insisting on being ridiculous about this point?

"Libs" would look like assholes if the president had said none. He didn't.

Do you think there are more, the same or fewer bayonets and horses in use by the military today than we're used in 1916?

Ridiculous is what they do best.

fewer horses, more bayonets

in 1917....we had approximately 4 million troops. today we have about 1.4 million. So...in all likelihood, you're wrong about the bayonets too.

Singular man, plural men.

Where did Obama say that bayonets (and horses) were completely gone? Show us the quote.

It's pretty funny. They are grabbing at a rope as they fall...but they grabbed a rope not attached to anything.


Priceless.
