These are times where america needs to stand together. And some people dont understand that.

Yeah yeah, so they can repaint it. Sure the people who did it were probably a bit misguided. I don't know how they expect to stop war by painting a cut-out submarine yellow.

I appreciate the reference to the beatles song though...

It's happened before I believe. The group protesting the practice bombing by the Navy of a small island off Puerto Rico are probably the ones that did it. I've been to Groton many times and seen stuff like this when my ex son-in-law was stationed there. I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of those that did it, all of the people of Groton have a lot of pride in the sub base.

As a UConn alum, I know what Electric Boat and the base means to that town. Those knuckleheads better clear out fast before the lynch mob gets them.

There are better ways to make your voice and political opinions be known. This is just pure juvenile crap.

This is agreed. Painting something yellow won't change anything.

I am a bit (a bit!) of an Hippie myself but this action was just dumb. Those Wannabes...

I am anti war but the only thing that sometimes can change anything is war.

How the hell was this moved here?

And what the hell is General Topics?

You wanted them to attack and storm Groton base instead of repainting their emblem...?

No respect.

GT182 · 10-20-06, 09:26 PM

You got that right Mookie.... they love their sub base. They fought hard to keep it and no one wants to mess with 'em. The people in Groton will nail em to the deck if and when they catch the idiots. It's only a matter of time and they're dead meat.

That's the trouble these days Wilhelm..... it seems many have forgotten what respect means.

LoneTraveller · 10-20-06, 10:18 PM

Hang those who disrespect the submarine profession. We don't. Or else we wouldn't be player this game constantly.

Ironic that they act like pansies to the very people that allow them the freedom to act like pansies.
