Strange happenings in Najaf

According to the scattered reports I've been able to find, a Highland unit (Scots) performed a highly successful bayonet charge against a group of Sadr militia men in Najaf on May 16th.

It's not a huge event in the course of this war, but when's the last time you heard about a bayonet charge? Frankly, I think we need more of this. In fact, let's go back to this style of war-fighting altogether. All we need to do is convince the Baathists and Shiite rebels to stand in long lines while we march toward one another on a field. We could decimate each other with round after round of musket fire and artillery before one line breaks and is cut down by a cavelry charge.
