The military certainly does not have fewer bayonets today than it did in 1916. Obama lost.

You would be VERY suprised to look at the number of American soldiers in French trenches in WWI around that time.

Fewer than 3,000.

But my point was that the U.S. armed forces are much larger now than they were back then, even at the height of American involvement in WWI (which weren't in in 1916, having entered the following year), and bayonets are still standard issue. I actually have no idea who won the debate, as I've reached my limit with this shit and didn't watch. But for a "clever line", this was a pretty stupid one.

As a European, I have a question to the Americans watching:
Do you really believe that when Romney starts a phrase with "I met a young woman in...", "I just met a guy in.." actaully ever "met" such people?


Yeah. There is no need to make them up.

 

Anyway I can only laugh at people thinking this was a slam dunk for Obama. The debate was very very close and only got good in the last few minutes. Obama seemed to get mad a fair amount of times while Mit did his usual smirk. I really did like the closing statement though of one of them.

I dunno between the M6, M9 and OKC-3S we probably have a few bayonets for every soldier in service.  They're generally standard issue and I think there is some regulation where they need backups of everything for every soldier or something crazy like that.

the gap is widening, Romney is pulling away in the polls. That pretty much shows people thought romney won the first debate, Ryan won the second, mostly due to Bidens constant laughing, smirking and interrupting, and Romney also won the last debate, because Romney has only gained ground in the polls since then.

So i also expect the average american to think Romney won this one.


LMFAO!!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fox News Says^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

honestly. whats with you and fox news. I dont even watch TV news.

i dont know what fox news has to do with this, but im talking about polls. like gallup and Rasmussan and others. they are almost all headed romenys way. gallup has gone up to +7 for romney. he is finally over 50% in polls. Battlground states, romney is closing in. Sure i bet fox news polls have showed polls moving in Romneys favor, but im not really sure what they have to do with this.

National polls don't mean sh-t. We got a electoral college. Not sure if you know how that works.

Rasmussan is so right wing that all there polls swing red. You kidding me. That don't have a great record.

Rasmussan was by far the most accurate pollsters in the 2008 presidential election.

There national model is particularly strong.



LOL!!! Man you have painted your self red. We get it.

I gotta admit. I went to play skeeball instead of watch this one.

Largely because I imagine they just agreed on everything with romney saying "I'd do what he did, but sooner or better" and Obama saying "no you wouldn't."

Hahahaha. That is dead on. I watched the whole thing and I just about want my 90 minutes back...

Since when was 53-42 a slam dunk? Also on an unrelated note I'm a swing state voter myself so my vote actually counts hahaha.

He is probably right since we only use bayonettes for practice these days. Epic Win!

Your knife has a bayonet loop on it for a reason, dood.
