But you're right that's pretty messed up. Hope they get it back.


     Actually they are not sure how many Bettys were up, both Lamphier
and Barber claimed a Betty, but as I've said earlier, the one in the jungle
shows damage consistant with Barber's account. That was the one in
which Yamamoto was found.

     There weren't any Kates up and the zeros were supposed to be a
ceremonial escort, they were taken completely by surprise by the 38s.

You gotta love the fact that people are more upset by a couple of dead hamsters, then the vandalism of the memorial. :rofl

too bad some bleeding heart liberal will try to help someone like those vandals. They chose to take drugs with the knowledge of what could happen. Too bad we can't float them out to sea and sink the boat.

This is my first post(and probably my last) on this board.  Shooting defenseless animals is barbaric (sp). I would love to see the day when animals are armed with equal or greater weapons.  What kind of person defines "HOBBY" as killing those that are unable to defend themselves...my definition would be COWARDS!!

The ugly old dude in the foreground is me, on one of my killing trips to eastern Oregon.  Here is the photo:



My hobby is shooting and killing things, both for real, and in games.   I had fun picking off some marmots that were living in rocks at the top of the gorge, which runs for many miles.  I managed to get a couple to slip off rocks when hit, and then plunge way down towards the river.

Here is a photo of a couple of marmots nailed on one rockpile, along with my favorite varmint rifle.

We do?  and all this time I thought we shot out little pixel dots.  Now that I know we use guns in AH, does that mean I need to become a jack booted, goose stepping member of the NRA?

So quit eating... and don't say your a vegetarian as then you'd be eating the poor animal's food and he would suffer by starvation.

Wow. Guess I am a coward in your eyes.  Along with all the other hunters in the world. That is a lot of cowards. I was kinda thinking the same about you since you can't post your opinion with your "real" forum ID. :cool:

Nice pic RifleLance, but it might be better served in the O'Club since you added guns and sleeping critters. ;)

Shame about the vandalism.  That was always an interesting story to me esp since the P-38 is my favorite ride.

Apparently, its ok to shoot the varmint if you suspected it was reaching for gun. ;)

...Too bad about the memorial, lots of stupid a** people in the world. :(

I am by no means limp wristed, but killing things for sport just isn't right. Fair enough killing something for Survival or if you're gonna eat it is fine.

Just my personal opinion.

Sorry for hijack.
