Last weekend, I attended “Spearhead”, a regional gathering of 1/16 scale RC tank enthusiasts. While there, we showed off our latest creations, talked about the newest RC “goodies”, and staged an engagement between “Blue Force” and “OPFOR” which was open to the public.
Since my grandfather serves as a tank mechanic in the Pacific during World War II, it should come as no surprise that I joined the WWII wing of the club and have constructed several of the USMC vehicles which my Grandfather once repaired, including an M4 Sherman, DUKW, LVT(A)4, and am currently attempting to build an M4A3R3 “Zippo”.
However, since we engage in mock “combat” (in which we shoot infrared laser beams from the various “weapons” on out vehicles and disable those vehicles we hit) we need to also construct some models to serve in OPFOR.

You seem to have revealed the true nature of liberal “thinking” which amounts to immature diatribes. Almost every single reaction to your question, when answered by a liberal, has been nothing but demeaning and sophomorish. On the other hand, the people who seemed conservative, possibly, have answered with respect and “thoughtfulness”. As for me, I love history and, especially, historical accuracy. My brother used to build and paint military models, very accurately, including scenes of battle, with a lighter and carving tools. It may portray violence, but in a historical context.
Liberals, conservatives, etcetera must eat turds for breakfast cause normal people can smell their foul poop-scented mouths for miles.
Whoever gives this a thumbs down is a poopeater by association.
Liberals have not lost the ability to think critically.
Enjoy your tanks.

Just remember, liberals don’t NEED a reason. If something goes wrong, it’s Bush’s fault, just because. Same thing with stuff like airshows. Liberals are against them because they feel it promotes war. Unbelievable really.
You just mistook a conservative for a liberal. I’m thinking very critically of you right now. So I don’t think I’ve lost it.
Dude, you attended Spearhead and you think Liberals don’t think critically?
Wow. Way too long. Try abridging your next question.
You sound moderately surprised….. Libs don’t want you to have freedoms, any of them, period. It’s not symbols, it’s a way of life!
And I salute you for keeping the memories of your grandfather alive….. Keep up the good work (and OPFOR always loses!)
I love the answer below me, models are okay but teaching that killing is fun is wrong. Where, in his entire story did it say someone, or something was portrayed as dieing? Get a grip. Does a racing video game teach a child to speed? Does a fishing video game teach a child to fish? Does the biography of Davy Crockett teach a child to hunt bears?
Don’t stereotype. This guy was either an idiot or looking for some excuse he could use not to buy a $300+ tank for his kids. “Symbols are for the Symbol-minded” – George Carlin.
If libs could think critically, they wouldn’t be libs, would they?
Their ignorance doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is that they refuse to do anything about it. This is the “information age” for the love of Pete! Friggin Google something and educate yourself!
It’s ridiculous, if I mention certain key words (like “privatize”) they loose their hold on reality and immediately go into an irrational, hate filled diatribe that has nothing to do with math or economics in the real world.
so you’re playing with a toy that represents a machine that kills and wastes valuable tax money? and you expect people not to react?
war games are propaganda to teach us that killing is fun. there’s nothing cool about that.
building models is one thing. teaching children that killing is fun is not.
certainly they do..the biggest one is………..$……….
its called tax and spend and the policy is doomed from its inception.
symbols…say ACLU, and most republicans froth right up.. except for Limbaugh when he got popped for dope..
there are as many far right nutcases as there are far left nut cases,,sounds like the guy at your hobby-fest was one of those..
Heh. WW2 was Bush’s fault?
It’s really quite simple. Like Bill Clinton, stick your index finger in your mouth then pull it out and see which direction the wind is blowing!
I suspect that if you had put out a T-32 Soviet tank, they would have heaped you with praise ! Libs are NOT in full possesion of senses. They also can’t stand history presented accurately, only if it agrees with thier socialist point of view.
What do symbols have to do with your argument? All I read is how you’re playing with toys. Senator Craig needed to play with your toys too, but look what happened to him…
Now how many people do you honestly think are going to read this entire rant that you spent so much time on? I’ll simply answer your main question by saying that Ann Coulter makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. So I guess I have a very negative reaction to symbols of intolerance and ignorance.
I’m afraid I might start having the same kind of reaction whenever I see your name.
