I'm curious where you get the idea that "Not every soldier is taught hand-to-hand combat". It's certainly not true in the US Army.

The US army is only one of the US armed forces. The US is only one of many countries. Many train soldiers very differently than the US does.

Granted, but the US Army is the only one I have direct experience with. Hand to hand combat seems like such a basic component of combat training that I would be shocked to hear that it is completely absent from any armed forces boot camp.

You didn't answer the question by the way.
