Thread: I couldnt help myself...

You all lost me. Miller High Life and Youtube vids of the invasion have me in a very retrospective mood.


First of all, who takes themselves that seriously? I personally thought it was funny as hell when I realized my M9 bayonet would mount to my M590 shotgun. "The perfect close quarters weapon", I called it. Well over ten years later it still has yet to claim a life and it rarely leaves the safe. I still joke about stuff I have seen and done that would make most of you gag. Sad? Maybe. I still have my sanity (arguably) and am still capable of doing my job. I realize firearm ownership is a serious responsibility and conduct myself and my affairs accordingly. Taking lives in the line of duty is one thing. Doing so when it is unnecessary is another.

A bayonet on a pistol is a laugh for someone in my profession, even more so than one mounted on an M4 or similar carbine. If I were to be equipped with a pistol capable of mounting a bayonet I would buy it, mount it and lead my Soldiers into battle just to give them a story to pass down to their children. Humor (like beauty) is in the eye of the beholder. Some of us have to find humor in not only what we know but what we live.
