Bayonets

"The SUN today reported that British soldiers in Iraq killed nearly every member of an insurgent unit during the British Army's first bayonet charge since the Falklands War, twenty-two years ago!  Twenty Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders charged Iraqi fighters after being ambushed in their Land Rover. Brits decided to fix bayonets on their SA-80 rifles and charge at once. They did, and between rifle fire and bayonet attack, killed thirty-five insurgents and captured nine.

Interestingly, analytical geniuses among UK's war planners had originally
left off bayonet lugs from the SA-80 rifle, considering bayonets obsolete.'
I suspect those people are extremely quiet about now!"



Lesson: An instant, explosive, and violent counterattack is the very last
thing most predators either expect or plan for.  Predators mostly dither and
ultimately deal with it poorly, as these Iraqis did.  Fearless men and cold
steel still frighten the snot out of the lowlife of this world.  God bless
the British!
