I think so. Just remember that it's still a felony if you get caught losing that A10.
How the hell do you lose a ground support craft like that?
...A really big car?

Hey, this argument is amazing.  Just think of all the places you can take it!

You need military equipment, not a just functioning government!

Land it in Bogata for twelve kilos of coke and a lifetime membership at the local brothel.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Hard work and dedication.


There's always a few plans floating around on losing an Abrams or Bradley.

I'd say "mail it home one piece at a time" like soldiers used to do with jeeps, but I can only imagine the shipping costs.

They would be. It cost me $20 to send a bloody chessboard home!

And they actually check the boxes now, the last post office I was at had a big display case of all the stuff that they'd intercepted in the mail. The bayoneted AK looked pretty nice.

Man, they don't let you play with anything cool.  Well, obviously you'd have to send it by civilian mail.  Not that a few thousand 150lbs packages heading from Iraq to Fargo wouldn't attract a little attention too.

Anyway, what was this thread about?  Oh right, British politicians using military budget shortfalls as a smokescreen against implementing a rational legislative representation instead of shambling along on the legacy compromises of Oliver Cromwell.  Why exactly would anyone not vote for something that at least sounds like a more representational system of governance?  In terms of ordinary citizens anyway.

Because if they'd do that they'd be HURTING THE TROOPS! Just like the billboard says.


Yeah, I can't think of any good reason not to move towards more democratic institutions. At least until one gets to the extreme ends.

That's why they need to use American tactics.

Because those in power told them not to, and if you can't trust your leaders and media pundits, then who can you trust, you know?

i got that same board about 300 meters from my house, it disqusts me


even if the referendum goes through, my understanding is that the tories dont have to actually act on it. Their general anti AV campaign approach is to hype the cost and associate it with the ever unpopular lib dems.
