Obviously, we have a lot less horses.

I have no idea how many bayonets are in use by the US military, and you correctly pointed out that the US Marines still train with them and they are in fact standard issue. However, I believe what Obama was trying to convey in a quick sound bite was that we no longer use bayonet tactics on a large scale. This is something that ended in WWII for the most part.
