Move Over Six Flags: ARMY WORLD may be coming!

[thetrailboss]

Well, the DOD is considering a proposal that will allow a private company to build an army themed amusement park named ARMY WORLD. :roll: Good to see that the military has its priorities set straight. :roll: Now we need an "AlpineZone" theme park.

The article from CNN.

True.....guess I should have thought of that...

And I think we should offer a bonus to the first person to write a trip report on their visit to ARMY WORLD (if it comes about).

Wonder if it'll have "live round" obstacle courses...i'd like to try my very own "Officer and a Gentleman" remake.....

My Mom always told me if I had nothing good to say to just say nothing at all.

There's nothing about this proposal that I like, especially if the bars end up being anything like the ones in Jacksonville, NC (which I realize is a Marine base, but when it comes down to it, an 18 year old with a gun is the same, no matter the uniform).

Wil the Army get licensing fees? If so, that could pay for some HMMV armor, I bet.

Yeah, you know. They're such reactionaries.

I figured they'd be sure to leave you alone after you padded the fence.

I think it was the stunt at the cliff that really did it.

I told you not to let the monkeys pack the parachutes. Just because they're not flinging poo doesn't mean they're working, you know.
