Most officers carried katanas, and a lot of the rank and file had one, also. There were instances of them being used when the Japanese troops, on the verge of defeat, would charge the American lines. I saw it on a documentary a long time ago that when the American GIs saw the charge, they would look for and shoot the guys with their swords drawn, first, because when they got close, it sucked.
Apparently, the M1 Garand just isn't as good a close combat weapon as the Katana XD .
