There is a proposal on the table for a military theme park. Think Disney World with tanks and guns. Man that sounds like fun, doesn't it? I hope they actually build the thing. I'd love to visit. All the fun of Iraq, but conveniently close to home and without the risk or moral issues should make it a popular place.

Disneyland for fucktards.

They'd better have bomb that you could ride on waving around a cowboy hat.

Disneyland for fucktards.
No, Disneyland for wannabes.

Just like Airsoft, but bigger.

It's simple enough that if you want to be in the military, and want to fly and drive and kill people, you can go to your local recruiter and get signed up.

Why build a theme park, when we have Iraq and Afghanistan (and perhaps a future conflict in North Korea or Iran)?

I repeat, Disneyland for fucktards.

LOLZ ARMYZ AND GUNZ COOL ROFL

How popular is America's Army? If it isn't that popular, this is a waste of cash. They already dump useless army games and stuff at the Space & Rocket Center/Marshall Space Flight Center/whatever the hell it is.

What is with the fetishisation of the military lately? I've been hearing these ads about a 'genuine military training camp' for people who want to work out to the tune of drill-sergeant verbal abuse...and pay silly sums to do it!

Think of the money I could make...

It reminds me of that crap in the 1980s where a lot of native Americans ran "sweat lodges" and other psuedo-native New Age camps for people with more money than sense.

now finally a place to take the tikes to learn how to become little terr...er....freedom fighters!

That is exactly what the military needs to finance all their pet projects which are each exponentially more expensive than the last. And that is for new items, totally ignoring the cost for upkeep of old items no one will ever use again.

Correction...a lot of pretendians ran sweat-lodges.

yeah-more wizened douche bags from NYC need to get back in touch with nature.
Lets put on our hemp sandals and eat some bark and mushrooms so we can go back to our friends and impress them with tales of our catharsis.

:rolleyes:

Oh come on now people. I don't care what your politics are, having the chance to drive a tank sounds like fun.

There are a lot of pretend-soldiers running the "boot camps" today.

I've been trying to figure out why, in each case, rich people are paying to be abused.

there is a place out near Vegas where you can rent various pistols and machine guns and shoot cars and targets.

I dont know how well a military theme park would do. A lot of people would check it out though.

After wading through crowds of protestors.

Ooh! We could make money BOTH ways.

The wannabes would pay to get into the park.
The protesters would be forced to pay to protest (it's all private property).

I would do it. Especially if they had some stuff to run over.

Could the wannabes shoot the protestors with paintball guns?

It's bizarre...during the sweat-lodge 'revival', many people were injured when the wrong kinds of stones were used, and exploded into tiny razor sharp shards as water was poured over them. Then you had the creepy 'shamans' who said you had to do it nude...and that a full body massage was part of the ceremony...

Some people have more money than brains.

Could the wannabes shoot the protestors with paintball guns?
As long as the protesters get to fight back with bricks, bottles, and signs.

To make it fair, the paintball guns will fire pepper spray paintballs.

Disneyland for fucktards.

It's funny 'cause it's apt.

This is what rural Albertans call 'going out to the back 40'. No fees.

Yes, because they would working pieces of military hardware on site for your average dipshit to drive around. Hell, not even your average dipshit, your less than average dipshit because the prospect of a military Disneyland would attract those in droves.

Holy crap, on the rare occasions I've ever got a response from you it's been devastating and precise and completely killed whatever I said....

*looks for the trick*

you have a point. Maybe they can hold the military games they show on ESPN there.

I am neither wizened, a douche bag, nor have I ever been in a sweat lodge. I don't wear hemp sandals, the only bark I eat is cinnamon on my pancakes, and I think mushrooms and onions go nicely with a big thick steak.

;) My catharsis usually involves first person shooter games or flight simulators. ;)

Come on Kat- I never suggested you were any of those things. I was born and raised in NY and merely used it as an example of a trend central type place.

I'm with you on the steak, as well as first person shooters. Do you have "Black" yet?
Its my favorite now, after having fun with the Medal of Honor series and Call of Duty...
But no "catharsis" there, its just how I bleed off stress these days

do you get to interogate (torture) prisoners and rape and kill civilians too?

I bet this idea would work well in the southern states.

It keeps the Carpetbagging Yankees out. :D

I don't always intend to do that. It just sort of happens...

*looks for the trick*

No trick. You nailed it with that one.

They'd better have bomb that you could ride on waving around a cowboy hat. "WEEHOOO!!! *BOOM*


After wading through crowds of protestors.
That can be a ride all in itself. "Beat the Hippies!"

It keeps the Carpetbagging Yankees out. :D


what does that word even mean? it sounds dirty.


besides, I avoid the deep south at all costs... it seems dangerous... like going to the Tiajuana ghettos. I might slip and say something against Bush and noone will ever hear from me again.

During Reconstruction, the Northerners who went south to exploit the southerners brought everything they owned in suitcases made of Carpet. (Maybe because Leather was used in the war or something.)

I can't understand that.
Why not just sign up, do the boot camp and near the end, go into your commander's office and proclaim your homosexuality?

You get the real deal boot camp, and it doesn't cost you a thing!
indeed, you get paid while you're there (sod-all I know, but still, better than nothing)

oh ok - hmmm, maybe I can find a way to exploit the southerners *thinks*
