JAY-ZUSS!

what part of the US ARMED FORCES uses those any more?

state militia/re-enactors force?

those have been declared obsolete and foisted off on 3rd thru 7th world buyers
since the 60s!

peace corps were issued them in the 60s for a personnel weapon for the lovely
assignments in flower land.

YUP! there are privates (and ncos and officers too) who have their heads so
far up their asses they never see daylight.

BUT. . . .

in situations where the shit is dead serious, they either pull their heads out
and function, or some one pulls their head out for them (after a ferocious ass
kicking or serious warnings delivered in other modes), or they join the
greatful dead.

combat soldiers tend to be deadly serious about staying alive and
have  a notoriously low  tolerance  level for idiots, jerk-offs,
dickheads, and yes men.

sooo, even the most braindead of other ranks and officers know that there are
worse things in life that the army can hand out than
non-judicial puishments, courts martial,  bad EERs or OERs.

There are guys in my unit who remember qualifying on
them--they were issued to CEV crewmen back in the
1980s. There's at least one tanker officer who
insists on hanging onto one--a buddy of mine knew him
when he was a BN CDR in Korea. I do think they are all gone by now.

Well, at least it wasn't a pike...

Or a sword...
