Back in the mists of time when I was in boot camp at Parris Island, we were shown a training film on bayonet fighting. This was the late 60's, but the film was an Army film of WWII vintage. At one point, the film told us "Your bayonet may become jammed in the body of the enemy. If this happens, fire a round, and the recoil will unstick the bayonet." Our Drill Instructors stopped the film. "You people (we were doing very well that day, so we were actually called people) have been here for several weeks. You should be able to tell what's wrong with this method." We were speechless. We were supposed to find fault with an official US Government film? "Ok, $#@*&!s, (not knowing the answer, we were no longer 'people'), if you still have rounds in your weapon, what are you doing letting the enemy get close enough so you can stab him?"
