"From basic training: "There are only two kinds of bayonet fighters: The quick and the dead."
And after explaing that theory to us the Drill Sergeant barked at us "What are you!"
50 of us reply in unison "QUICK!!!'
Drill Sgt. "What are they!"
50 of us reply "DEAD!!!!"

And as I went back through the posts on this thread it would seem that I'm not the only one who remembers the bayonet course from basic training!

But then you are robbed of the adrenaline as well as your hearing.
Stay safe.

"It was very bloody and it was difficult to count all their dead," one source was quoted as saying. "There were bodies floating in the river."
The only thing missing? "And then they sprinkled the corpses with bacon bits."
Anyway, kudos to these guys.
