        @WSJ The President used the term "fewer" bayonets and horses. Adjectives are important.

        @WSJ If that is the only error you can focus on, I guess Obama is doing fairly well. Better than thinking Syria and Iran are neighbors.

        @WSJ Good golly--he said FEWER not none. Weren't you listening? This pseudo-meme based on disingenuous misunderstanding has got to die.

        @WSJ They were talking about the Naval fleet...is there a land navy that uses horses? Bayonets kept on "special boats that go under water"?

        @WSJ The POTUS didn't say we didn't have bayonets or horses anymore. Simply that we have fewer of them.

        @WSJ Every unit -- platoon, company, battalions -- I commanded in the Army had them. Standard issue! Joshua Chamberlain would understand.
