Members boogiebassbill Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 Sure, when I was that age, I did PLENTY dumb stuff, but I got punished and/or had to make things right, just like these kids need to do. If it were me, I'd ship them off to Camp Lejeune and let them explain to some real, live, Semper Fi jarheads WHY they thought that was funny . . . .ah 10-4 good buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jugghaid Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 yeah...but yah dont do it for the thill......big difference You're right. There is a big difference. Hunting for food=giving the animal at least a chance to beat you. Buying steaks at the supermarket=getting it from someone who used planned slaughtering tactics to kill the animal so you don't have to do any work and gave the animal NO chance. I don't condone trophy hunting, where people are not interested in the meat, but lumping all hunters into that category is just plain stupid. Hell, they were stocking the freezer.

Yeah, all things being considered hunting animals is probably actually much more humane than eating factory farmed stuff from McDonalds or the supermarket or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jugghaid Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 dont ever say bad bout them mariine dudes.....they is sum mean mothers when they git mad................................You're right. My dad retired as a master gunny. Did tours in Korea and Vietnam as a sniper attached to Recon. In between he taught sniper school. So I know this to be true.We used to hunt together too.....deer and elk.....i don't think you'd want to call him a {censored}. At least if you were within 1.5 miles of him.

Members hi.flyer Posted October 18, 2007 Members Share Posted October 18, 2007 My perception of this is that the intent was to burn a flag, not to slander a dead soldier. These kids probably didn't even know the whole back story of the flag, marine, blah blah etcetera. So, we can disagree on the matter of the flag burning, but I think it's unfair to paint these kids as intentionally, directly attacking the dead soldier or his father.

I had to plead with him to bring the meat home, he was going to leave the carcass on some old woman's doorstep and mount the head to the front of his high dollar sportscar and let it rot.

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted October 19, 2007 CMS Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 My perception of this is that the intent was to burn a flag, not to slander a dead soldier. And that's because they were raised with no understanding of what the flag means to many Americans. "Burn a flag" is exactly equivalent to "slander a dead soldier". In fact, it's worse by a degree of magnitude, that being the number of Americans who have died serving under that flag. Those dickweeds stomped on all those soldiers' memories.

If they grew up with no understanding of what that flag means to alot of people, they will now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, they were stocking the freezer.A couple of deer a year can feed a family of 4 quite a few meals between the steaks, sausage and burgers the meat company turns it into. That's aside from the fact that the meat is leaner and more healthy for us, too. And right on. I can't condone trophy hunting. If they happen to bag the trophy and eat the meat, it's all good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NeonVomit Posted October 19, 2007 Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 Burning a flag = freedom of expression. Burning someone else's flag = arson, and should be punished accordingly. Especially if the flag means something to them. Stupid kids. Sure, make a statement, get a flag and burn it. Countless have died to protect your right to do that. Burn other people's property is a crime however. Especially if it has a special value to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HackedByChinese! Posted October 19, 2007 Members Share Posted October 19, 2007 On the one hand, let me say that these kids are idiots. On the other, I debate the wisdom of flying a flag with such high sentimental value as this one had. After some time, it would have eventually needed proper retirement, and would have met the same fate as the vandals that destroyed it gave it (albeit in a formal, respectful ceremony.) If I were to find myself in the same situation, such a flag would be in a display case in a place of honor, not outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have empathy for what he was doing flying that flag. He's grieving, and probably always will, but I'm sure this soon after his loss he felt the need to show the world, so to speak. I'd imagine he would eventually retire it to a display case, but now we'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud papa's show their boys off to the world. They don't keep them locked up for no one to see. The way I see it is that you would like to debate that it's the victim's fault. Let's liken that to the scantily clad girl who must be asking to get raped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
