A good run down on the new Gat... IIRC that those using this weapon will be the least likely in the Infantry to have to fix bayonets at work

Not SF. Just typical squaddies.

The Bayonet Charge That Foiled The Taliban

A bayonet charge isn't for the faint-hearted - much less one conducted while running over 80 metres of open ground and being shot at...

120 years? 1904?

Entente Cordiale | Franco-British Alliance, 1904 Treaty

That was a couple of Republics and an occupation ago.
