Undertoad Saturday Feb 22 12:12 PM2/22/2003: Silly pro-war demonstration
The official caption says this is part of a pro-war demonstration in Denver and that these Coloradans are marching on the capitol. Which tells me one thing: both pro- and anti-war marchers have an equal capacity for nonsense.
I think historical recreation is interesting if it tells us something about history; it reminds us what conditions were like and such. And this is kinda interesting if it gives us a fresh look at what US soldiers looked like all along.
But as a pro-war demonstration, it's kinda dumb; all it does is remind us that we have a military tradition. If anything, this image says "let's go to war, because that's what we always do!"
deepandchilled03 Saturday Feb 22 01:24 PMA cool pic though, lets see:
- Revolutionary War
- French and Indian war
- War of 1812
- Civil War
- WW1
- WW2
- The Korean War
- Vietnam
- Gulf War/Current
Griff Saturday Feb 22 01:30 PMI wonder what hoops they jumped through to be able to tote their rifles? Of course we are talking Co. not NY here.
Nothing But Net Saturday Feb 22 02:35 PMFunny how the definitive 'Evolution' image goes with:
<img src="http://chem.lapeer.org/Bio1Docs/Images/Evolution.jpg">
Personally I think we're going the wrong way.

Nothing But Net Saturday Feb 22 03:54 PMNotice their 'rifles' get shorter as the years go by?
Minutemen, indeed!
wolf Saturday Feb 22 06:05 PM1. Hopefully, it takes more than a minute.
2. It's not the size of the rifle, it's the skill with which it is aimed.

That to me is actually a pretty decent pro-test. The only problem being the 256 or so incursions not represented. Anyone notice we've misplaced 3 "civilian contractors" er CIA dudes in Colombia. Griff who should know better than to post with six fingers o' Black Bush in his belly
elSicomoro Saturday Feb 22 06:47 PMAh, the return of the wise alkie sage.
Griff Saturday Feb 22 08:06 PMbut every time I look at that ugly moon
it reminds me of you
Cam Sunday Feb 23 03:28 AMNo see here is the wise alkie sage.
Luckily tonight I know I'm drunk so I'm paying attention to my spelling.
Not that that mean as ton when your drunk you still can't tell what your doing.

No, French & Indian was before the Rev. War.
Therefore, I think it's
*Revolutionary War
*War of 1812
*Mexican War
*Civil War
*WW1
*WW2
*The Korean War
*Vietnam
*Gulf War
....which still skips the Spanish-Amer war.
elSicomoro Sunday Feb 23 01:27 PMToo bad you're out in the midwest, Cam...and too bad James is in Colorado. If you guys were closer to the East Coast, the two of you and Griff and I could all get together, drink senselessly, and create one big thread of obnoxiousness.
Griff Sunday Feb 23 01:42 PM[cornered] Oh how easily we mock that which we are not intellectually or emotionally prepared to understand. Why do our artful lives frighten you so?[/madman]
Cam Sunday Feb 23 02:02 PM

muahahahahahaha. yes yes, the fear we could strike into those that were sober.
deepandchilled03 Sunday Feb 23 02:48 PMAhh.. good call. I was confident on the French and Indian War and Rev. War timeline. And now that I look at it, that dress does look like something in the Mexican War. The uniforms are hard to tell from back then. It's like someone that is non-american trying to see the difference between Korean And WW2 uniforms.

Check out the back row. There is a guy with a navy blue cap, blue pants (far right); to his left, a guy in red pants and again a blue, or perhaps black cap; right behind Cival War is another with grey pants (the South?); and what appears to be thei final one is in white pants behind Mr.Blue in the frow.
Any ideas on who/what, with so little to go on...
Quzah.

I think your CLOSE - the only change is "Current" - It looks (at a distance) to be "Gulf War I" - there are some changes to current, but they are slight (I don't think they use those goggles anymore), I know the vests have changed, but I can't tell from the photo which it is (the new ones are better and lighter) - I also can't tell if he's carrying a M-16 (actually probably an AR-15 - semi auto) M16-A2, or a M-4
Torrere Monday Feb 24 02:27 PMWhoa! I hadn't even noticed that there was a back row!
