    I love that something like this couldn’t be dealt with by just telling soldiers not to do it, but that they instead had to modify the bayonet design. “Our soldiers are going to do this now that we know it’s possible, so we need to redesign things”.

      It’s just stupid enough, you know they’re gonna try it. Straight-up guys being dudes.

      “Hon hon.”

      “Hon hon.”

      “…”

      “Merde.”

        Hon hon is not a sound that’s possible in the french language, since they don’t pronounce the H.

        Just replace it with “Ben ouais” and all french jokes will be better for it.
