Hey, Colorado Springs guys.....

[rondog]

I was down there Friday, and saw some yahoos holding a big sign that said something like "no more helicopters at Ft. Carson". WTF is up with that? Buncha sissies all butt-hurt about the lovely sound of our Army's birds? Army base without helos - whoever heard of such nonsense.

I dunno, haven't seen that.

probably the same people that complain about the flyovers for airshows and falcons games

Til' they get stuck on the side of a mountain...then they are crying for the Army to rescue them!

I haven't seen this either, but we used to get a group of nuns (Dominican Catholic diocese) that would protest the use of Space as a weapon @ Peterson. I haven't heard of them coming back since U.S. Space Command moved to Offutt AFB, NE. I know they were arrested a couple of times for some nonsense they were pulling during their protests (they even spilled blood and pounded on a jet with hammers once). More recently they got arrested for breaking into a missile site near Greeley and pounding on the silo cap and rails with hammers. They were in prison last I heard.

Some folks will never understand that we NEED the military to protect our way of life, our values and freedoms, and our right to worship (or not) as we choose. Any others will never get the fact that the military can't continue to do what they do without training, even with the helocopters.

I have not seen that one as well. I know there was an article in the paper some time ago.

They want to bring an Aviation BDE to Carson, don't see where they are going to put them. There are already too many people there as it is, and that's with half of them deployed.

And there already is a bunch of Helicopters there at any given time. People are always crying that the city got rid of the police coppers and those guys were the loudest.

Should have seen the place 10 years ago. It was a ghost town. After DS1 the levels got smaller under Clinton. Then we stopped catering to the retired crowd around 98 or so. by 2000 it was a very somber mood with all the BRAC stuff going on. 9/11 changed everything.

If people want to bitch about too much military in and around Colorado Springs, maybe those yahoos should have reconsidered moving to a town that does not have 5 major military installations...

Freedom hurts my ears...

Hope they bitch about how hot it is in hell when they get there.
