The tip of the bayonet felt so hot when I pulled myself towards the tree trunk.

Thanks for the post, Bruce. Nice scene. If I were to put it into an ancient warfare context, I can think of a couple of situations where a warrior might use his sword that way. 1) Self-administered discipline by an unquestioning soldier who has failed in his mission and incurred a death sentence from his general; 2) a variation on the classic "falling on one's own sword," when all of his mates have been slaughtered, and defeat, capture and death at the hands of the enemy are imminent. He robs them of the pleasure of taking him alive. I'm sure there are other scenes too.
