From ABC News Debate Transcript
ROMNEY: Our Navy is old -- excuse me, our Navy is smaller now than at any time since 1917. The Navy said they needed 313 ships to carry out their mission. We're now at under 285. We're headed down to the low 200s if we go through a sequestration. That's unacceptable to me.
I want to make sure that we have the ships that are required by our Navy. Our Air Force is older and smaller than at any time since it was founded in 1947.
We've changed for the first time since FDR -- since FDR we had the -- we've always had the strategy of saying we could fight in two conflicts at once. Now we're changing to one conflict. Look, this, in my view, is the highest responsibility of the President of the United States, which is to maintain the safety of the American people.
And I will not cut our military budget by a trillion dollars, which is a combination of the budget cuts the president has, as well as the sequestration cuts. That, in my view, is making -- is making our future less certain and less secure.

OBAMA: Bob, I just need to comment on this.
. . . I think Governor Romney maybe hasn't spent enough time looking at how our military works.
You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed. 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 slips. It's what are our capabilities. And so when I sit down with the Secretary of the Navy and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, we determine how are we going to be best able to meet all of our defense needs in a way that also keeps faith with our troops, that also makes sure that our veterans have the kind of support that they need when they come home.
And that is not reflected in the kind of budget that you're putting forward because it just doesn't work.

BREAKING: To counter Obama's #horsesandbayonets attack, Romney attempts to sink a U.S. Navy vessel with a bayonet while riding on Rafalca.

Obama cleaned Romney's clock, along with his bayonets and Rafalca... #Debates #p2 #tcot

Mr. President, for the thousands of Virginians in the Navy family, cutting our naval forces isn't a game of battleship.

Rafalca Romney, watching from home: "It's the QUALITY of horses, not the QUANTITY."

Obama is Mr. Snarky Commander McSnark now, lecturing Romney on how we don't have bayonets anymore.

If Romney's military budget includes bayonets, it better also include tri-cornered hats.
— Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) October 23, 2012
We actually need more bayonets in the military! Our soldiers are having to duct tape steak knives to the end of their guns!

Horses and bayonets and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. #nonpartisantweets

Marine emails Fox News -- Marines still use bayonets.

You guys realize that unicorns are basically horses with bayonets growing out of their heads, right?

Obama -- bayonets & horses aren't the mainstay of our military?! REALLY??

Personally, I have more bayonets than I did in 1916.

When your sense of winning a debate depends on proving that horses and bayonets are still relevant, you've probably lost.
