@Courtney - Tee Hee.
I saw the start of this thread and was reminded of the story told here (and elsewhere) of the USMC Harrier squadron at Red Flag drawing & fitting bayonets to their steeds before Charging.

When one hears the command "Fix Bayonets!" in Combat.....nothing good is going to follow afterwards! 
as an aside to an aside, the British army manuals are entitled "Trumpet and Bugle Calls". As any fule kno, the trumpet is keyed of course.
Here's the bloke who sounded the Charge of the Light Brigade at Sebastopol proving you right!
