Horses and Bayonets

During Monday night's debate, the third in the Presidential series, there became some controversy over horses and bayonets.

Mitt Romney stated that we had the smallest Navy, in nearly a hundred years.

To that, President Obama responded that we also have fewer bayonets and horses.

Obama's supporters have used it to suggest we no longer have either in our military forces.

Various memes have popped up, for either side, as well as pictures of US military forces showing bayonets in battle.

I for one, will simply point out the United States Military Academy, at West Point.

The first picture shows cadets marching at acceptance day, in 2012.

The second is a still from West Point's official Gangnam style video.

Seems we still use both horses and bayonets, Mr. President.

O, and for the record, we actually have more bayonets now, around three times as many, in service, than we did back then. Horses, maybe not.
