Anything that glorifies such a truly horrific thing as war is moronic in the extreme.
Paintball I can probably handle. Its the dressing up in costumes of nations who have peretrated heinous acts of savage butchery on women and children I would take exception to.

And with all due respect if it wasn't for those brave men who jumped out of C-47's on june 6th 1944 you would all be speaking kraut. Personally I have no problem honouring those men...they are heroes every last one. And yes war is horrific to the extreme but not all of us hide behind the dung heap that is called neutrality, some step up so others can be free!

Someone who posted such a truly ridiculous picture of themselves followed by probably the most cringy video ever made is in no position to call anyone a 'noob'.
I almost expected you to stand up for your 'fastest growing ''sport'' in the world' but you obviously have'nt got the mental fortitude to do so.
Dismissed.

'...they are heroes every last one.'
Were the men who commited the 4336 reported rapes during the first ten days of American occupation of Kanagawa Prefecture all hero's too?
Perhaps you might like to reinact these truly heroic acts too?

John, forgive me if Im wrong, but it looks like a group of lads, having fun with toy guns and dressing up. Im pretty sure the rape thing is not on there agenda, it may be you are being a little 'bent' about the whole thing? or could it be setting off flashbacks from your days in 'Nam'? I would insist on a fixed baynet, and a reasonable supply of Javlin missiles before I played.

''not all of us hide behind the dung heap that is called neutrality, some step up so others can be free!''
I've just picked myself up off the floor after this latest gem! Priceless....
Could we have an example of this stepping up that you practice? Preferably one thats not paintball related?
You can stand down Damo. The private has no need for reinforcements as his video has shown he is more than capable of fighting his own battles.
What puzzles me is why you would choose to live in a country where its citizens 'hide behind the dung heap that is called neutrality'.
As far as im aware the Brittish Army are currently recruiting for sap's to 'step up' and go and fight in Helmand province.
You'd be a shoe in seen as you allready have the costume sorted. You may need to work on your thousand mile stare tho.

Don't see any harm in it myself. A bit of craic and everyone gets to go home afterwards. Maybe if more people sorted out their differences by playing games like this the world would be a better place. It is pure fantasy, they are not re-enacting actual battles or glorifing war. People have been dressing up as cowboys and soldiers for years, so what? The camo gear that a lot of anglers wear came from military uniforms. Lighten up and let people have a bit of harmless fun. Have to be honest though, some of them do look a bit silly.

what harm are they doing they are having fun,as someone said earlier they are not glorifying war,they are doing something that they enjoy no harm in that surely,we should be worried about the abuse the good old church has done over the past,if oddy wants to run around and play war that's his affair,he is not harming anyone.

''as someone said earlier they are not glorifying war''
I'd beg to differ with you on this point Mollsman.
Practically every single war movie that you've ever seen or are likely to see in the future, with some notable exceptions, glorifies war.
As the caption in the following link sums it up pretty well......
"You must glorify war in order to get the public to accept the fact that your going to send their sons and daughters to die."
Interesting film on Hollywood war movies and possible links to the Pentagon.
I'd also be interested to know who makes these replica pea-shooters? Are they made by the same arms companies who also make very real hand guns that kill thousands of real people every year? If so, and I do believe this to be the case, then here is your answer to those who say ''sure what harm are they doing''
Supporting arms companies through this nonsense is not a very clever thing to be at.

Tbh john I am not going to get into a heated debate with you over this....just to say that the toy guns...for that is what they are, are made by companies who make only airsoft equipment.
i would love to know where you stand on xbox games and their ilk....like cod2,medal of honour etc because they are played by millions...and there have been numerous threads up on here regarding them and yet I don't see you hikacking those threads to pedal your inane divel!!!
enough said on all of this I think...time for the mod to step in and lock the thread...its all a bit pointless
