Last night Barack Obama mocked the use of horses and bayonets in the military.
Today Bayonet Inc. told Obama to “get educated.”
TMZ reported:

TMZ spoke with multiple people in the bayonet industry who tell us they were shocked and even offended when Obama brought up the weapon during last night’s debate.

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.”

Obama said that there were FEWER bayonets. In 1944 the military had ~8.3 Million troops. Today it has 1.4 Million active duty personal. The military might be occasionally wasteful, but I don't think that every soldier is issued 8 bayonets.
 
Yes - thank you, Your Star. I think this entire focus and exchange is funny. :)

No, he used WWI as an example, not WWII.

What's funny?

You and others like you leeching onto it - and posting everyone's on-record comments on this like it's hot-**** news. . . that's what's funny.

was that just random words? or was there a point you are trying to make?...
 
I tell you what travis, you can have bayonettes, and I will take drones, hummers, tanks, howitzers, missiles, long range snipers, assault rifles, supersonic jets, napalm, muclear warheads, sattelite recon, and every other major advancement after ww2. Let us see who wins. Yeah, bayonettes are4 a real important part of modern combat. Sure the modern soldier is taught and given tools for modern hand to hand combat, but when things get to that point something has gone horribly wrong.

it is good to know you have the same combat awareness and knowledge as mittens the kitten Obama/romney. If he gets elected and gets the 6 wars he wants i hope you are the first in his draft and enjoy the bayonette he gives you to fight iran's army.

Your posts are simple Obama jibberish.. too bad for the Obamabots

You tell that to a Marine.. that his bayonet is not needed.. go ahead...If a marine is reaching for his bayonet no tank or anything else is going to save them..

if your post had a shred or dignity or fact, then why do they still have one strapped to them?
 
I can't wait for this election to be over with. Good grief.

Is it hard to post lies like facts, or is it second nature?

Did they make any mention of how many bayonets are used these days as it relates to past wars and practices?
 
I think it is funny because this is Big Bird II--that is what happens when you try to be cute in politics and veer off course in the slightest.

Not that I saw.. no

So then it doesn't actually discount what Obama said. He didn't say they are no longer used, just that they are less frequent than they once were.

I'm not sure exactly what she meant but I think it might be the irony in posts like this? dunno.
