I certainly cant imagine anyone in the US army using a knife or bayonette in combat, unless you ran out of all of your ammo, and then only if you had no way to run away. In modern armies knives and bayonettes are mostly used for cutting food, or digging small holes when you didnt bring your shovel.I doubt even a navy seal or commando would use a knife unless absolutly necessary. My long time neighbor was a seal and he always said that if they had to use their weapons on a mission, they had already failed.</blockquote>
