I think the Army is backing up by dropping bayonet training.It teaches aggressivenes and the will to win.
Just because it does not happen as often as it used to,
does not mean there is no need for it.ALL soldiers
should be taught Hand To Hand,knife,bayonet,and weapons
of opportunity(E-Tool,helmet,web belt,and the like).It
could mean the difference between someone going home on a plane and going home in a body bag.
