Mr. President, Marines Still Use Bayonets

He said "fewer" horses and bayonets, not "none." If you're going to attack Obama on something, at least be intelligent about it. I had more issue with how he talked down to Romney in his follow up to that. "We have things things called aircraft carriers and planes land on them. We have these ships that go under the water called submarines." I'm paraphrasing here but that didn't sound presidential at all.

Romney said that Syria was Iran's greatest ally and their gateway to the sea. Nevermind that Syria and Iran share no borders and Iran looks to have about 10 times the coastline that Syria does.

Exactly.

The point being that there have been replacements for horses and bayonets in the modern world, ships are still ships, still serve the same purpose, all while being much more technilogically advanced today. His comparison didn't make sense. He also revealed his lack of knowledge regarding the needs of a modern navy, which has been addressed in other threads.
 
He just sounded like a condescending prick when he made the comments he did, turned a lot of people off, it didn't help his cause to those who are yet undecided. That's all that matters at this point.

it's only condescension in the eyes of those who think mitt would make a good president.

Does that put you on record for believeing that Obama makes a good president?
 
Not to worry, if Romney is elected we will see a lot more horses in the military, and more massed infantry charges against machine guns, but our boys will have bayonets. Romney may also reintroduce the old British-Regular tactics of standing upright in red coated ranks when firing at the enemy. The red coats made it easier to see them. The Democrats and military have dropped a lot of old good tried and true military tactics including the cavalry sabre charge, I can see a new poem emerging Romney's Light Brigade.

Wait till Mitt brings out his 1916 Navy

Cast iron riveted hulls, coal fired engines, Civil War era Monitors, cannons

Hey they might not be worth much in a fight....but there will be alot of them

do you see the words *obama is a good president* anywhere in there, sweetheart?

obama sucks

romney would suck worse
 
It is a good thing that he didn't say we stopped using bayonets then, just that we use fewer of them. No surprise that you are attacking him on this though after the shellacking he gave Romney last night.

Its strange how the right wants to split hairs on most topics; even more strange that on this one it isn't what our President said at all.

really binders full of women? i think its funny how the left will use a mistake to hammer someone, YET declare Biden won a debate and we havent heard from him since.
 
Look up the word facetious. However for a few days there was talk about women being offended by that comment...that is not facetious.

You should know a lot about offending women. You can't debate LGS so you call her Cumslinger...:cool: Classy....

Really? can't debate? I call Warrior a gay biker too....because he's always talking about buttfucking and gay oral sex. LGS isn't interested in debate....she's a hack...no better than a few on the left who do the same damned thing.....remember when Truthmatters went on a ten page tirade about the GOP not respecting the troops in Afghanistan or something like that? I do....not only did I not defend her...but took the opposing viewpoint...

And as far as I recall....this board's policy is....if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. I've been called names....had my nickname butchered, been called a baby killer, communist, and a host of other bullshit....never once been offended that I had to cry in my pillow at night.



:blahblah::blahblah:


I don't need to defend LGS. She can clean your clock on her worst day. My point was your lack of class by calling a woman a Cumslinger instead of making your point since you seem to pride yourself on your "debating skills". :cool:

Yeah...I see...when you guys do it....it's A-OK...let "the other guys" do it, and it's offensive. BTW....if you call her bullshit in this thread "cleaning someone's clock", no wonder you think of her as a master bater....I mean debater.

The worst I ever spoke to a woman here is to call jillian....jillyidiot. Go get a bale of straw, turn it into an argument, post it and get back to me.

you mean like "horses and bayonets"?
 
Dem's are notorious for getting our forces into conflicts unprepared. Shit happens. There is nothing wrong with being prepared and ready. You are lost in your own spin.

No. Like "cumslinger".

It's the little things that matter, like blowing off your own briefings. Real Presidential. ;)

GTFOH..... we spend more than the next 10....Count 'em....TEN most powerful countries...COMBINED....and you going to try to sit there and say we're weak?

Lost on spin? look in the mirror dude.

Ignoring the fact that horses and bayonets aren't usually thought of as navy implements of today or the past, it was an effective line until he followed it up with the childish talking down as he did. If he said "well, we also have fewer horses and bayonets. Just because we have fewer ships doesn't mean we don't have a more effective navy. The advances in technology and the capabilities of these ships enables us to maintain the same effectiveness without needing to maintain a large number of ships and submarines."

That would have been a lot more effective in the eyes of the independent or undecided voter.

Army Spc. Thomas Wilson: Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to up-armor our vehicles? And why don;t we have those resources readily available to us?

Donald Rumsfeld: It isn't a matter of money. It isn't a matter on the part of the army of desire. It's a matter of production and capability of doing it. As you know, ah, you go to war with the army you have---not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.---You can have all the armor in the world on a tank and it can (still) be blown up...
