My son was forced to go through basic military training in order to become a soldier in the U.S. Army during World War II. In military training, he learned how to kill and protect himself by brutally stabbing his enemies to death with a bayonet.
A senior officer in the army gave these words to the mother of his son.
"I will tell you what it means to send your son to an army camp. Your son has been assigned to training at the Quartermaster Replacement Training Center at Camp Lee. Half of the training period was spent on basic military training, learning how to defend himself with a bayonet. They learned how to handle weapons and march with precision. The other half of the time was spent training the technicians of the paramilitary units as well."
The military is not all about training and studying. Soldiers need to be physically and mentally fit. Our training center has an extensive training program. There are many religious chapels, carefully chosen from all the major denominations.
Mandatory restrictions will be placed on my son's behavior. He is not allowed to go home on furlough except in case of emergency. The son will rise and go to bed at a regular and early hour. You need to have faith in the military just as you have faith in your son. Both son and mother will be able to play their part, as will the army, in eliminating the threat to democracy.
With bayonets, the soldiers were forced to stab their enemies to death. The soldier lowered his gun in front of the cavalryman, and immediately afterwards, he feasted his dagger weapon. The bayonet replaced the faster and lighter weapon. The bayonet emerged in the late 16th century. The rifle club gave way to the stabbing bayonet. The bayonet consists of a blade of various shapes, double-edged and sharp at the tip. The bayonet functioned as both a knife and a dagger, and the rifle was loaded with the bayonet to attack.
Due to military necessity, guns were reloaded and bayonets were mounted and fired. Even with the bayonet mounted, the blade was moved out of the line of fire and the bayonet was reloaded. They prevented the bayonet from being dislodged from the barrel of the rifle and secured it to the barrel of the rifle to prevent displacement. from the early 19th century, the first crimped bayonet was manufactured, with a long blade and a back straight and parallel to the blade. The bayonet-type saber was also compatible with rifles due to its long blade and distinctive shape. Adopted by European armies, bayonet-type sabers were equipped one after another. The bayonet for infantry was lengthened to cope with the reduced volume of fire and the impact of cavalry.
The amount of shots fired by soldiers increased significantly, and cavalry lost its overwhelming advantage. from the early 20th century, large-scale mobile combat was replaced by positional warfare. Defensive facilities and artillery positions for bombardment became essential conditions for a soldier's survival on the battlefield. In the narrow trenches, short and easy to handle bayonets took their place. These days, bayonets are more like knives. This was accompanied by a tactical shift in the use of the bayonet as a weapon. Even during World War II, bayonets changed in shape, first from single-edged with a long tip, to triangular in cross-section with a sharp tip a few years later. The U.S. military bayonet adopted an even longer blade, which had the dual function of a bayonet and a drilling tool.
