Hawk Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 I just love these hamster pictures (and anti-hamsters)! Has anyone seen "Rat Patrol" over at the WWII ONLINE site? Parhaps we need a "Hamster Patrol" <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Slapdragon: Damn, anyone that can remember a Boer War poem has my respect.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Ol' Blood and Guts asked me once what the heck my sig meant, so I just had to tell him! "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred Lord Tennyson. HALF a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Light Brigade! Charge for the guns!' he said: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. 'Forward, the Light Brigade!' Was there a man dismay'd ? Not tho' the soldier knew Some one had blunder'd: Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's but to do and die: Into the valley of Death Rode the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred. Flash'd all their sabres bare, Flash'd as they turn'd in air Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wonder'd: Plunged in the battery-smoke Right thro' the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reel'd from the sabre-stroke Shatter'd and sunder'd. Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volley'd and thunder'd; Storm'd at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro' the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them, Left of six hundred. When can their glory fade ? O the wild charge they made! All the world wonder'd. Honour the charge they made! Honour the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred!

gaffertape Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 A distant relative of mine actually took part in the charge of the light brigade. His pocketwatch was handed down as a birthright but unfortunately my dad's ex-wife destroyed most of his belongings, including the watch.

Slapdragon Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 Hamsters were only useful to clean 50mms. You use Nutria sucking in their gut on a 75, a rabbit on a 76, and a wood chuck on a 105. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 Don't you people have any taste at all? Those soldiers originally in the photo have quite probably been killed while on foreign soil, and all you can do is vandalise their image by carving away their faces and substituting them for hamsters. ------------------ "War is like the cinema.

I was only one who did the "vandalizing" so blame me. As for the fates of the original individuals in the picture, they are both from Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. The gunner is Walter Gordon, who was wounded at Bastogne by a bullet which pierced both shoulders and "brushed his spinal column" in the process, rendering him temporarily paralyzed. He was walking again at the end of the war. The second man was Frank Mellet, KIA during the Ardennes Offensive. Got the info and picture from Stephen Ambrose "Band of Brothers." If I didn't care about them why would I bother finding out their fates? "Vandalizing" their picture, as you put it, is not "all I can do." It wasn't done to show any disrespect or ingratitude for what these men did during the war, I hold them in nothing but the highest esteem. I really don't think that if either of the people in this picture were to see it right now that they would react as violently and and negatively as you have. The altered picture has NOTHING to do with them. I saw it and happened to think it would be a good one to retouch so I did. Now, if I had put lil' cartoon dot dot dot clouds over their heads, left their faces intact and written something about them having depraved thoughts or something, you'd have a point. As it stands now, you really don't. I can take this one step further by posting the original picture and point something out to you that Ambrose in his caption seems to have missed. Wait here and I'll try to do it now . . . Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted September 29, 2000 Author Share Posted September 29, 2000 OK. Here's the original that I got from the book. Notice anything odd about the picture? There's a German grenade laying next to them at the left. Now look at their facial expressions. To me it appears that they're definately posing and maybe, just maybe (I see it mostly in Mellet's face) trying to keep from smiling because of their, I suspect, unknown addition to the photo. Maybe I'm wrong but it wouldn't surprise me if they did this on purpose. Having a sense of humor about things can help people cope under stressful situations. Ask any cop you might see. Hoping the UBB works, Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted September 29, 2000 Author Share Posted September 29, 2000 Now here's an interesting counter to M. Bates attack. This picture was taken at about the same time as the previous one. Look at this guy smiling and laughing with a German helmet on his head that belonged to someone who "more than likely was killed on foriegn soil." Has he no taste either?

M. Bates Posted September 29, 2000 Share Posted September 29, 2000 I still think that it is very bad taste, and attempting to excuse these stupid actions doesn't make it any better. Why can't you stick to doctoring Combat Mission screenshots, and leave the WW2 shots well alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
