If this is the outfit that put the 2nd flag up look a the M-1 CARBINES they (do not )have BAYONET LUGS on them.

So the Statue at ARLINGTON VA is wrong because the have BAYONET LUGS on the M-1 CARBINES .

The error of the bayonet lugs on the rifles in the Marine Corps Memorial has been well known since shortly after the monument was unveiled in 1954. After the contract was approved in 1951, the sculptor, Felix de Weldon, asked the Marine Corps for proper equipment so he could faithfully recreate it and the Marine Corps provided him with a 1950s carbine, complete with bayonet lug. The Marine Corps has long acknowledged that this was their error and not the sculptor’s.

Why the knit picking? The fourth marine from left/rear is brandishing a rifle with a bayonet, is he not?
