SAd news for you guys they cut bayonet training from infantry basic fairly recently too i think less than a year ago. i always thought bayonet training was more abot mindset tan actually using a bayonete. i loved that course though :D

That is BS...so much for instilling the warrior mindset and killer instinct. Makes me wonder what other hardcore items they pulled in the interest of saving money and modernizing the battlefield.

You're right. Mindset they want is that killer instinct. This pisses me off. Bayo and pugil, BJJ Gracie program, are what made me feel a little more fearless. I'm going to right my congressman. Infantry need to know this stuff! In 1/50 B co, our battalion sound off was "Fix Bayonets" IIRC. The bayo is as infantry as a blue cord.

Absofreakinglutely...how can you earn the blue without knowing how to sink a blade or learning how to attack? Oh well...as far as Im concerned we're still producing fine warriors but I hate they are missing out on one of the time-honored elements of CQB training.
