    I remember my bayonet class from my time in the army. We were never taught any such thing. We were actively discouraged from hitting things with our muzzle.

    What is your experience with rifle combat? Because mine is practical application in iraq.

    Edit: lol love the block because you got called out. Next time don’t spout off stuff you don’t know about. And maybe don’t accuse people of being war criminals just because you’re mad about being called out for being wrong.

        You’re just going to insult someone for making a reasoned, informed reply to a comment?

        There are many reasons someone might join the armed forces, and whether or not you are a conscientious objector, you might consider thinking before calling someone a war criminal without knowing what they actually did during their time in the military. Plenty of people went into combat zones without committing any war crimes.

        Also, ad hominem attacks are dumb and you shouldn’t use them.

      Against women and children, I suppose?

      Either way, it’s been a thing for a while now. Buttstriking is not something you do with a long gun.

          I don’t tend to take seriously people who went to become peons for the war on terror and don’t regret it.

            How do you know they don’t regret it? Because they don’t whimper on every comment ‘Oh it was terrible and I wish I had never joined the armed forces’ every time they write about their time there? Don’t presume. Also, ad hominem attacks are dumb and you shouldn’t use them.
