Far as I know, the K-bar is still the issue blade for those whose T.O. weapon is the pistol. The bayonet is supposed to be the blade for those who carry the rifle, but it appears to be going away.

This is going to cost some good soldiers their lives at some point in the future. The next time we fight a Vietnam-type jungle war our boys will need their bayonets!
