Now the Army used to use them more and hardly does now. The only ones left are the Marine's and they don't really use them that much... last real time was in 1951.

So was Obama lying?

Are there not less bayonets in use today?

You've posted numerous times on bayonets in this thread so it must really be eating you up. Just wanted to set you straight.

I'm sure somewhere on some military base or out in the mountains of Afghanistan someone is on a horse right now... doesn't mean we do not have less.
