The phrase, “Fix bayonets”, is less about physically attaching a knife to your rifle, and more about the mindset of being prepared to kill in up close and personal combat.
Same as when sgt maj. Plumley said “prepare to defend yourselves” they definitely choose their words carefully and there’s purpose behind every order. That engages a more primal instinct in a man rather than something like “get ready”
Can't imagine. all combat is a terrifying thought but to be given that order must be even scarier.
I was an Army officer in Germany when the Wall came down. We were never issued bayonets nor trained in their use but I still carried a double edged dagger in my boot. All of my military police soldiers had an M16-A3, grenades and a 9MM Beretta. Some had an M204 grenade launcher and others had the M-60 machine gun. Each 3 man patrol team had a few AT-4 anti-tank rockets too.
No, it’s actually about putting a knife on the end of a rifle when you’re almost out of ammunition or close to being overran.
@@ivanlaracuente6234 those 204 grenade launchers must’ve been awesome. For decades the rest of us only got 203’s.
When I was a cadet at West Point we were taught that was one of the last commands you would ever want to give or hear, either with your own men or over on the enemy's side. It means that in a few minutes YOU were going to be KILLING or being KILLED. Not at 200 yards but more likely 2 feet. You were going to meet your enemy face to face, literally. One of you is going to die. It doesn't get more serious for a combat soldier. Respect to the men of Ia Drang.
That's why this scene always gave me serious chills... Drill sergeant always said it's likely the last command you'll be given. If you hear "fix bayonets" expect to die.
#respect to you soldier. Thank you
100th like go brrrrrr
In reality this part didn’t happened. Talk to a guy who was a replacement for 2/7 after this battle. He said film 80% accurate except this part
But you are right
For those wondering if this is historical, it is, this scene is based off of the bayonet charge that Rick Rescorla led in Vietnam, and he was in the first cavalry division also

@@noahhornbeck3988 luv it
It is isn't exactly historical. More like "very loosely based on a historical battle."

M60 Guy: ☹️☹️☹️
Duct tape
A Gurka in a similar position in Afghanistan used the bipod of his GMPG to beat a insurgent to death
:(.
*takes out a shortsword
Duct tape would do
I love the Sgt. Major absolutely refusing to use the M16 because he thought of it as a BB gun and instead uses just a 1911 pistol the entire movie
The real guy actually said that and fought the whole battle with just a 45
I wasn't just about thinking the M16 was puny. It was because his job as the Command Sergeant Major didn't include primarily shooting at the enemy. He would only be engaging the enemy if they broke through the lines, and as he said "if it comes to that, they'll be plenty lying around"....
@@LuistheABF123 no he didn't

@@communism_is_wrong7167 can’t really argue with that.
You know things are about to become carnage when that order's given.
unless u were a death kore of krige infantry
The RTO killing his enemy counterpart at 1:09 was a nice touch by the screenwriters.
My thoughts exactly
I saw this movie when I was 11. My dad took me to the theater to watch it. The part with the RTO killing his counterpart always stood out to me ever since I first saw it.
Very artistic
APUAYAYAYA- **gets stabbed**
Only dweebs can kill other dweebs. It's like the rules and all that.
2:04 the film makers did a great job with the quietness of this scene to show how brutal war really is. They made it quiet to focus on the chaos of war.
Thats Mel
In real it even worse
The only issue with movie. It’s so obviously filmed in California.
But in reality vietnam wins.
I’m glad us brits still use the bayonet. Such a powerful tool in close combat it will put the fear of god in your enemy’s
Damn right brother
You need a license to breathe there still though lol
You can shoot at the enemy all you want and they can keep there heads down soon as fix bayonets is shouted you turn into another beast if the enemy is still alive after im sure they would need new shorts
So does the usmc
The American Marines do too
As someone who fought in the Stan let me just say, "Fix bayonets" is absolutely the last order you ever wanna hear when you're fighting men who are truly unafraid to die for their convictions. I thank God we never had to. Our biggest fear was IEDs and an enemy who blended in with the civilian population. It was impossible to distinguish between the two unless they were actively shooting at us or planting bombs. So naturally you treated everyone as a potential combatant. Looking back idk how I made it home. I've never been so terrified in all my life. I'm glad my brothers were with me. I'm only here because of them.
Saved noone. Talibani rules there now.
@@kosovir because the democrats let it happen
@@sneezy583 it is very sad what happened there, but we thank you for your service and yes, the democrats did let that happen my friend she is from there had to deal with them years ago she is very thankful for what America did but unfortunately because of the democrats pulling out her country is now in control of the Taliban
@@kosovir And unfortunately the Taliban are going to ruin their own country once again, like they did before, but oh well, the US tried.
I just let it go as being out of my hands. It's a huge burden off. The realization was when we were in traffic duty in rush hour Gardez and two VBIEDs were supposedly inbound in white Corrollas. Almost every car was a white Corolla. What are we gonna do, shoot everyone? Nah. Just roll with it man
My favorite Vietnam War movie. Even though the final battle didn't end like this IRL but this final battle is alright.
Talk to a guy who was a Replacement for the 7th after this battle said the film was 80% accurate save for this part.
Sergeants Major Plumbley was from Shady Springs, West Virginia, a great West Virginian Soldier.
How did the final battle go?
How can you like that movie ? Nothing is historical accurate even the part with the french... Mel Gibson is a shitty realisator and everyone take his shit like for hacksaw bridge. You want a real vietnam movie ? Watch full metal jacket.
@@corporaltempest4184 it’s easy to like this MOVIE. Movies are always supposed to be entertaining 1st. This movie is”based” on a true story, which means they used some of reality but also gave the audience what they wanted which was action and a victory of sorts. Stop shitting on Gibson the guy is a fine actor and great director, imo, who by doing movies like this and the other inspires people to actually go out and learn about this men and moments in time. I personally never heard of William Wallace until I saw that movie, never heard of this book or these men until I saw this movie, the list goes on, but in the end I went out and learned all about this battles, wars, and men who were in them.
That was the same command that Lt. Colonel Joshua Chamberlain gave to his troops on Little Round Top on the second day of the battle of Gettysburg. After the Civil War, Chamberlain wrote a book titled "Bayonet! Forward: My Civil War Reminiscences." He gives a vivid account of his experiences. It almost feels like you were there in the thick of the fighting. I highly recommend this book.
Ah yeah this scene from "We Were Soldiers". This bayonet charge and the UH-1 coming in with Miniguns blazing that leaves you stunned when watching.

The image of the choppers circling around with the door gunners laying fire down is one of the most hardest scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie…
When fear turned to rage, adrenaline pulsing guns blazing battle cries echoing, it was here wear boys became men god bless those who fought and those who never made it back
1:10 When you're the class lookout, but the teacher catches you before you can warn them.
Love the song....with the Tibetan throat singing
In fact, that's Scottish. The song is named Sergeant Mackenzie.
Mongolian, not Tibetan. The song is scottish though lol.
This is not Tibetan throat singing at all. This is either Turkic or Mongolian throat singing, possibly Tuvan throat singing.
Everyone nowadays has an opinion to spew out of their worthless mouths 😂
@@lvlc6023 Correct. Sgt Mackenzie died in a German bayonet charge saving his private .We live here. Because of him.His mother's clock fell of the wall on his death.
My Drill Sergeant, when we did bayonet training, said this was the hardest point of combat to prepare for. Far enough out, and a target becomes just another silhouette to shoot. But up close to where it becomes blade work? It's real in a way nothing else is in a fight. You feel the resistance as his body gives to your blade while looking into his eyes or feel it as he does it to you.
Something Ive always wondered, why dont they fix bayonets by default even on modern assault rifles? The socket mount can be detached for cleaning later, and its not muzzle loaded or an obstruction to firing. Any jams are cleared at the breech, right? If you fixed bayonets by default when entering close combat you have the deterrent against close quarters combat.
@@johnlawson523 psychological effect - you engage in bayonet fighting ONLY when you are certain that the battle will only be decided with your victory OR your death.
Its a LAST RESORT WEAPON.
Apparently IRL Plumley used a e-tool or hatchet in combination with his 1911 for close combat
We who have seen war, will never stop seeing it. In the silence of the night, we will always hear the screams. So this is our story, for we were soldiers once, and young- a quote from the book that inspired the film "we were soldiers once, and young"
2:06 imagine the exact same scene with an A-10 replacing the bell
Danger close
Brrrrrrrrrrrttttt!!!!!
If that was the case the dude would have been turned into red mist lol
Or a Spad carrying instant barbecue fuel.
I like the part where those two soldiers see the dead or dying soldier resting on a branch with the flag. It sends the message that Victor Charlie are, like the US soldiers, are fighting for their country.
Easily one of the best battle scenes in modern film Mel kills it every time.
0:58 the old sargent major out there gettin some with his 1911 like the OG he is 😂👍
2:00
Personally one of the most tense scenes I've ever seen.
He's literally staring at his imminent death.
Respect to those who served in the Vietnam War.
The one dude who looks at him when he said fix bayonets priceless
It is one of the better "it was at this moment he knew... he fucked up" scenes from a movie.
You wanna know how Custer feels, you gotta ask him. This line hits me because I served in the Marine Corps and I've drank with 7th cav Vietnam vets. I'm also indigenous and I can trace my family tree to the warriors who fought against Custer.
thank you for your service
That VC colnel deserves recognition to who ever he was
@Greyson Orbach, is that a joke? The OP is most definitely not a communist.
He was an NVA colonel, and he is likely based on a number of individuals I believe (sorry for the nit pick but the VC and the NVA are different groups like the us army and USMC are)
@Greyson Orbach you lost 😉
Drops mic and walks away
@@user-li4zo5gf1o Not quite. The US Army and USMC are different branches of the same military. The NVA was the professionally trained regular army of Vietnam and Viet Cong were the guerrilla fighters.
@@ChaseMcCain81 awhhh, someone still sad about losing Vietnam?
0:25
When boys play dogeball but the entire school is the play zone.
They just start firing their M16s
I find the symbolism of the radio operator killing the man with the handset interesting.
I noticed that too
My grandpa served in nam he said that his friends join the army and two of his friends died in nam respects to the fallen soldiers who died.
There has been very few incidents where modern US soldiers actually charged into battle. While a bayonet charge did occur during La Drang, there was actually no confrontation. The only two actual bayonet charges in recent US military history was in WWII led by the Nisei Troops(Japanese American soldiers) against the Germans, and the last one recorded was in the Korean War which was an uphill charge in the battle of Hill 180. Both of these holding much more cinematic value than the fabricated Hollywood scene we have here. I'm actually quite surprised a film about the Nisei Troops hasn't been made yet.
"Japanizschen? Ich dachte das sie auf unsere seite waren!" or something.
There are very few Hollywood films that feature non-caucasian troops. The stories of the Nisei, from internment to battle lines, are lost in history 😢
@@honjokun0615 Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid ? The only thing I heard about it
There was a movie made about the Nisei troops called “Go For Broke.” It is run on TCM from time to time.
Asians killing whites? America isn’t ready for that my boy 😂😂
Normies: you don't need a bayonet because your never gonna get that close to use it.
Marines: hehehe stabby stabby.
In the recent wars they are not always necessary, it was more during the First World War that was used a lot, after is better to have a bayonet in case.
@LeaderPriceFR09 especially in room clearing or fighting in tight spaces where an enemy can actually get close to you. Or checking bodies to make sure they're actually dead and not faking it. (If they scream poke em again)
@@angryfoxzd5233 yes, I saw a movie where a Japanese soldier stabs a dead American soldier to see if he really dead,the movie was hacksaw ridge if I remember correctly.
@LeaderPriceFR09 I don't know if checking bodies by stabbing them is a war crime but at the same time they could easily get back up and stab you too. It's kinda of a gray area.
@@angryfoxzd5233 I do some research and yes stabing dead bodies is a war crime according to red cross, similar for looting dead soldiers or shoot dead corpses, according to them, if a soldier is on the ground, he is dead.
I have three great uncles who served in Vietnam. One was a SF Paratrooper with the 101st Airborne, one was an Army artillery observer, and the other in the Marines.
So many of these guys were unfortunately treated like dirt when they came home from the war, being spit on and called baby-killers. They had it rough man… They deserved so much more than what they received when they came home.
Thank your three uncles for their heroic service. They deserved better much better when they came home. God bless all who served.
Grandfather was an Army specialist. Communications Repairman. I was almost never born. He showed me a picture of when Victor Charlie shelled their camp one night. He work up to find a mortar shell not 20 ft from him. Never went off when it was supposed to.

How many times did you watch this movie before realizing the Colonel looking up at 1:50 had purpose?
Helicopter
I kind of expected the VC looking at him to look up too, then have an "oh shit" expression.
The scene in Gettysburg when Chamberlain had no choice but to fix bayonets and charge was really gutsy. They didn't have enough ammo to fight from a far but they was the last line of defense. So they did what they had to do
And, unlike this scene, that one actually happened
What Adults see: Aw its just our child playing with Army men
What Kids see : 2:04
Honestly its a little weird how male kids just admire war so much. I would always reenenact squad level combat. Idk why though.
@@ID0NTFUCKRATS it’s not weird at all, men are made for war, it is genetically ingrained at birth. It is an important part of masculinity, a boys desire for combat is integral to his identity regardless of if he realises the danger or not. In fact, I’ve found if we know the danger we want it more.
@@conangaming2156 dude forgets we are animals XD
@@juradoom You are an animal, humans are not.
This is one of the best Vietnam War films. I used to have this on Blu-ray until I had a break in in the middle of a move. All the remaining movies and 99% of my books were stolen, as I'd moved a few of my movies and books prior to the break in. Including books and movies that were gifts from my late mother. People never think about the sentimental value of things even if it's easy to monetarily replace something.
They needed a fix. They think of nothing else.
Nothing scarier than seeing an entire arsenal suddenly put blades on their gun
1:19 For anybody wondering about the MG-34 in the back the soviets supplied the Vietcong and NVA with a lot of ww2 German weapons
Seethes logistically.
@@himoffthequakeroatbox4320 what?
the damn soviets sold their weapons to every 3rd world country in the world. they armed every rebel group and every terrorist group across the planet to the teeth and then the americans and the europeans have to go and die in some wasteland because of it.
Yes, captured weapons , then I wonder how they find ammunition for these weapons.
@@LeaderPriceFR09 the soviets just shipped the ammo with the guns, they also got a lot of it from ww2
Imagine seeing a gun shoot that fast for the first time shredding a human apart terrifying thought
This reminds me of Colonel Chamberlain's 20th Maine Infantry Regiment Charge from Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in the American Civil War.

The more I watch this movie, the more I actually sympathize for the Vietnamese. These guys were defending their lands. To them it was victory at all costs. Flag and rifle in hand, to the absolute end. Whether it may the France, Japan, US or China. Nothing but respect for the many generations of Vietnamese troops lost into history.
The Vietnam war was in some ways a rerun of the American revolution, only this time Vietnam was the US and the US was the Limeys.
Cool story. They were brutal communist savages. And no, I'm not only talking about the Hanoi Hilton, they treated their own people like whipped dogs for 20 years, before and after the US showed up, until the war was over.
"There are no winners in battle, only survivors"
Well said comrade.
There's two types of people when you hear the order to fix bayonets. Those who piss themselves, and those who grin like the devil.
If that order leads to that kind of combat, the ones who are grinning will likely end up involuntarily pissing themselves too.
My favorite scene
If you were ever really Cav. You knew these 2. Awesome. I am honored to have been in the Cav.
Some years ago, I've read a book written by Peter McAleese - an SAS veteran with over 20 years of combat experience. According to him, bayonet charge is mostly psychological move; most people would rather fall back or surrender than to face an enemy willing to go up close and personal.
Such a well made scene.
Sometimes is just saw a bunch of Krieg Death Korps charging lol
Soldier: *Turns head away for a second*
*Loses Encampment*
2:15 when the attack helicopter comes through with them rounds dumping on communism....
It must be horrifying watching this tear a human to shreds
My past brothers bled so Junior can cry about the news and wear skinny jeans 😩😩😩
Today, in modern warfare, bayonets are more a psychological weapon, not just to strengthen the soldiers, but also intimidate the enemy.

This and the charge in "thin red line" were among the best, hat comes off to thin red line for what i feel was more emotionally charged

That battle was up close and personal. 😮
I remember being a kid in the theaters with my dad, who was army Huey gunship pilot. This hit him. Even at 12 I knew (and I didn’t) what he must have been remembering.
This is the time when pure adrenaline rush takes over!!
I can't see anything, but I can smell them😀
I love how this very similar sequence was used in his film Hacksaw Ridge
My instructors spent so much time preparing for action in close quarters - nothing get's your adrenaline going than hearing "Fix Bayonets..."
"Any one can pull a trigger... BUT, can you $i!! a man face to face - so close you know what he had for breakfast?..." "Can u watch the life leave their eyes?"
Yup, they didn't pull punches - u got your ass kicked until you could take one of them.
You know it’s about to get ugly when you hear
“Fix bayonets”
Love the use of MG-34s by the NVA. Russia had a lot of confiscated German arms in storage after WW2 and did end up sending a lot of them to Vietnam.
There's a Russian one too - the one with pan magazine. Degtrayev, or something. They probably did use a load of secondhand & scrounged stuff, surprised to to see a French Hotchkiss in there. Must have been a nightmare for the logistics guys.
Badass battle sequence
The best and jaw dropping scene ever . 🙏
Serious props to the extras who played the NVA and the Viet-Kong (not sure I spelled it right)
If they made a PS5 game out of this movie this would be on the last level

Not really, both sides suffered 50% casualty rate.
237 Americans were killed in Action and 258 wounded
PAVN lost 554-1745 depending on the source killed, and 669 wounded
