True, bayonets are still issued but only as a last resort. Issued more for tradition and photo-ops but not for modern warfare. Nice try Romney but fuck you and your 'knife'!
With 'horses and bayonets,' Obama casts Romney as out of touch - latimes.com
Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military's changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines, he said. And so the question is not a game of Battleship where we're counting ships. It's it's what are our capabilities.
Willard has advocated smaller police forces, as well as fewer teachers.

What a dumb ass you are... A bayonet is a most important item of gear carried by troops on the ground. It has many uses - not just for close combat. Your desire to slam Romney blew up in your face because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Someone just said that comparing the ships we had in 1916 with the ones we have now is like comparing the telegragh with a smartphone.

That's such total bullshit. Every time someone talks about shrinking the size of government, you progressives immediately start screaming that they're going to lay off teachers, firemen and cops.
We've got a government that is so bloated and inefficient that it's a wonder we get ANYTHING accomplished but the public sector unions have their heels dug in as they try to hold onto all of the sweetheart deals they've gotten from the liberals they spent millions to put in office. You know as well as I do that we should fix the problem, yet every time someone tries...you attack them with nonsense like this.

Willard has advocated smaller police forces, as well as fewer teachers.obama might have been right about needing a smaller Navy if the world were't still 4/5ths water. After all, the police used to walk around, they called it walking the beat. Now they have these things called cars where they sit and go faster than they could walk. They also have computers. Why do we need more cops anyway? Following obama's lack of logic, we'd need much smaller police forces.

Ok, let's discuss it. Which are "everyday goods" and how are you calculating change in cost? Going just by "food at home," average cost has increased 5.8% from Jan 2009 to Sep 2012. Not exactly skyrocketing...5.8% over 44 months? (Source: CPI-U database US city average, food at home, seasonally adjusted)Let's discuss the skyrocketing cost of everyday goods while the average wage of Americans declined.
Ok, they started keeping records on that in 1948 and while it is now the lowest labor force participation (at 63.6%) since September 1981, it's higher than anytime before December 1979.Let's discuss the smallest percentage of people in the work force since they started keeping records on that.

Romney wants to send American kids to a gunfight with bayonets. He has no intention of ever actually sending himself or his own kids into a fight.
That would be something...Seeing Romney leading a battle. Ha...Ha.. Ya sure Mittens.. Hey Romney...You are no Eisenhower.. seriously.

it's a matter of terms, isn't it?
When you talk about laying off governmetn workers, who do you think is going to be laid off?
Teachers? Firemen? Cops?
Or do you think there's an agency of "FOlks sitting around drinking coffee all day scratching their balls."
Now, is there inefficiency in government. Yup. There's innefficiency in the Private Sector, too. I've worked in both.

But the difference is that inefficiency in the Private Sector is self correcting. If you're competing in business and you're inefficient then your competitors eat you alive. If you're inefficient in the Public Sector THERE IS NO COMPETITION.
As for people sitting around drinking coffee all day? I've worked for the government one time in my life. I got a summer job painting crosswalks for the DPW. Myself and another kid had a truck and a list of crosswalks. The first day out we painted a quarter of the list and came back to the barn all proud of ourselves. The superintendent took us aside and explained that the list was supposed to last the whole summer and we needed to slow down. We spent the rest of the summer driving around in our little yellow DPW truck doing basically nothing all day.
Now that Superintendent KNEW we were getting paid to do nothing but he didn't care because it wasn't "his" money that was being wasted...it was the taxpayer's. That's your government at work and it's like that in offices across the nation.
Do you know where you keep a bayonett when not on your rifle? You strap it to your leg. I just measured my bayonet (long story) and it is 12 inches. That thing is very uncomfortable and movement restrictive. No one carries a bayonet around anymore, I would guess since WWII.
Obama is nitpicking in hopes of slowing the momentum of the Romney campaign. It's not working.
Obama cannot run on his record and his only hope is to make Romney look bad. Obama himself lamented the used of these exact tactics in the past- before he needed to use them.
Obama can run on his record and continues to contrast it to the Republicans obstructionisms policy. Obama has not only slowed Romneys momentum but overtaken it. Romney is dead in the water as we speak... just you watch the polls in the coming days.
