Spirit of the Bayonet

Sergeant Kris Battles had some Marines over to his studio to pose for reference pictures for his Belleau Woods sculpture.

Yeah, yeah: Marines have combat artists and - being Marines - they are very, very, good. So what? So .. this.

Ignore the campy dough-boy helmet.  Look at the size of the friggin' knife on the end the rifle. 

A bayonet like that . . . a man could really reach out and touch someone, ya know what ah mean?
