Also, as I said in my above post (2 above), the rational behind teaching melee combat is to condition troops to stressful circumstances where split second decisions matter. To get them used to feeling consequences for their actions, taking hits, being aggressive, etc. It is considered by many to be one of the best preps for actually sending soldiers into combat. That is why it is important a lot more than the practical side of melee combat in modern warfare.
You sound like a Marshal of France circa. 1913.

Vuk is what is wrong with America, a fat slob sitting on his couch claiming America is teh best and can't be defeated because of some intrinsic awesomeness, when in reality the people who serve in the US military are just that, people. Putting this rediculos onus on them is why Americans supports retarded ventures that get my friends killed because when I see a guy who I once talked to for 4 staight hours because his best girl broke up with him the night before the big game, Vuk sees some caricuture out of a Michael Bay movie

You'd better pay your damn respect and think long and hard before commting to anything because its not your ass or even your creature comforts that are on the line. Its someone elses and chances are he is just like you.

You mouth breathing philistine
