Not sure about us Yanks, but the Brits like their bayonets. There have been several stories of their use in Afghanistan in several battles. Here is one.

“In May 2004, approximately 20 British troops in Basra were ambushed and forced out of their vehicles by about 100 Shiite militia fighters. When ammunition ran low, the British troops fixed bayonets and charged the enemy. About 20 militiamen were killed in the assault without any British deaths.”
