Was it just me, or did it seem like the Obama team had prepared their candidate with some meme-ready zingers? It's one way to get us to pay attention to a ... what was the focus of last night's debate again? Oh yes, foreign policy.
Last night's debate was loaded with gems, but this was the best line of the night, in response to Romney's accusation that the Navy had shrunk since 1916:
Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets. ... We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of Battleship, where we're counting ships.
"Horses and bayonets" started trending immediately, and the gif'ing and meme'ing machine started churning out craziness. For your entertainment we've gone and gathered a little basket of our favorite "horses and bayonets" memes just for you.
By the way, some troops may have guns that happen to have bayonets attached, but they are indeed using fewer as Obama said. The last bayonet charge was launched in the Korean war (1951) and the Army is phasing out bayonet training. But back to the funnies: Here's a few more hilarious memes which, for copyright reasons, we can't repost: Obama riding a unicorn, Battleship fictional movie poster, 3 Debates in Pictures, The I Don't Always Fight Wars.

Honestly, didn't see all of them. Why? I freaking CAN NOT STAND the slideshow format. Really.
I wish you could just put them in the article. :/
I didn't watch the debate, but am a bit confused. OBama made the statement about horses and bayonets, right?
Romney didn't say that we should have more. But Obama said it?
I guess I don't get this. Unless Romney agreed and said we needed more horses and bayonets in our military.
Though that last one is cute! (with the cat)
Our military also still carry bayonets...but no one cares about the actual issue, they care about finding the next thing they can mock.
Everyone IS paying attention to joke captioned pictures, and they are NOT paying attention to OWEbama's debate performance.
I am still chuckling at how many times OWEbama was so desperate to change the subject that he actually reverted to bringing up his domestic policy performance!!!
Now THAT is desperation!!!
@Guest, if he reverts to his horrendous domestic policy, then you know it must've been bad!
@Cyndi, is that true, we have more bayonets now? If so, you'll NEVER hear about that in the news, the truth is so irrelevent when you're childishly mocking someone.
Sorry, did Obama say we "have fewer" or "use fewer"? It's pathetic to know the truth and still try to protect the fact that he's uninformed on the military he is in charge of.
