Tuscaloosa, the Longest Sustained Firefight USMC in VietnamI fixed my bayonet on my M-1 rifle (as did my fellow soldiers), in 1964, in the Harlem riots, when I was in the National Guard. Awesome sound. 600 bayonets clicking into place.When can you imagine the police needing to fix bayonet? I only ask because that was one of the items that Obama decided the police did not need and would not get from the military.
You should have seem those rioters run. They ran through the places where a rabbit couldn't go. They ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch'm. LOL.
Also, Obama's executive order # 13688, which blocked local and state law enforcement from purchasing military surplus gear, was reversed by Trump in August 2017. Trump's new order removing Obama's order said >> "The recommendations issued pursuant to Executive Order 13688 do not reflect the policy of the executive branch. All executive departments and agencies are directed, as of the date of this order and consistent with Federal law, to cease implementing those recommendations and, if necessary, to take prompt action to rescind any rules, regulations, guidelines, or policies implementing them."
More good work from our protectionist president, to PROTECT the American people, and get rid of bad policies by the previous criminal president (Obama)
One of the most ominous things I saw in Vietnam was when a squad returned to the company still wielding fixed bayonets. Also, another squad had run out of rifle ammo and had to unlink machine-gun belts bullet by bullet and feed them into their M-14s. When the living hell started the three lead men suddenly fell with bullets in their heads from snipers using Czech hunting scopes.
