Cool, I'm right across from Brookside Park, anybody want to come over and PLAY? This could be fun. Sez the ex-navy snipe.

Someone bet me five bucks to run at their roadblock with my Nissan! They wont have rounds on them (training, unless their CO is a retard), should be fun!

"Hey, whats that car coming up?"
Nissan engine then begins high growl!
"ALLAH AKBA!"
"DAMN! ITS VERN! OPEN FIRE!"

I bet the crime rate will be real low that day.

I'll give you 10 dollars but you have to video tape for me. opcorn2:

What you haven't had enough of my "checkpoint drills" while leaving the range?

You M855 powered infidel American wonder weapons are not match against my reinforced aluminim unibody constructed Nissan Sentra, with it's mighty QG18DE 1.8L CVVC engine, must I say, the PRIDE OF ALLAH HIMSELF!

Just kidding, though I think it would be fun to give the local Devildogs a run for their money.

See signature.

That's right, be afraid.

I don't like the tone of the article. if it quacks like a duck, smells like a duck, and farts like a duck, it must be a duck.

I know I may draw some flack for this, but, I am rather against any military unit training in a densely populated urban area. The government has the funding to make "mock citites. I dont understand why they feel they have to invade Indy. If they want a real combat experience, go invade Detroit (heck, there is little difference other than temperature from Baghdad and Detroit, everyone wants a white boy dead in both town). I just always get a little antsy whenever someone says the military is doing training within 20 miles of an urban area.

Agreed...and its been built here in Indiana.

Guess they want the realism of a confused populace running amuck during their maneuvers.

this is gonna be good. I can see it now, "25 dead in park, due to training exercise gone wrong"

Vern's head is buttstroked after his Nissan is wrecked by a stream of M249 fire into the engine bay.

He awakes in a cell. Outside the barred window, he sees the sunny shores of Guantanamo. He thinks, boy was that stupid. A man comes into his cell, wearing a suit. "Vern, I'm your court appointed lawyer", he says in a monotone voice. Vernon thinks, damn, I hope I dont drop the soap....
