HA! I'll see it when I believe it. I've been to Vendenberg, as the home of the American ICBM School and home to several active nuclear missile sites, I dont think they'll get very far before they are shot on site.

and they will be..

Makes me think back to a few years ago when I was in Northern Colorado on a road trip to visit missile sites across the US.. I had pulled up to the fense of an active Minuteman III LCC (which is nothing more than a big fense with a single story building). As I took one picture from outside the fence, a guard came out, stuck the barrel of his gun through the link fence, locked and loaded, then ordered me to pull the film from my camera and toss it over the fence or he was going to shoot me as ordered. He got my film, and he would have shot me.

I'm officially jealous. There is every type of missile base there at Vandenberg including the infamous OSTF Titan 1 that had the rocket (not the warhead) blow up in the silo while the doors were closed and blew a big crater in the ground.

Plus, from what I hear, when they do minuteman test fires to the marshal islands everyone on base can see the missile go up from where ever they are.

neato.

There are several islands they use for testing, however I know for sure they use the Marshall Islands for minuteman/peacekeeper testing. These of course are non nuclear tests, just targeting tests.

ya i agree but [and i am no expert] but my dad was telling me when they were first doing to minuteman stuff they would fly the missles in or bring them by boat, i don't know which to where he was stationed on johnston whatever and fire them from there. incidentally, don't know if its still this way but thats where the nuclear subs offload there warheads before they pull into port at pearl harbor or whatever

just because you don't support the war, doesnt mean you can act like an idiot.
they will get shot, and with good reason.
i hope the soldiers don't hesitate to pop a cap.
preferrably in the head.
there are many better ways of protesting the war than vandalizing military bases.
actually vandalizing military bases is about the worst way i can think of.

Do they really think they can "vandalize military equipment"? They should be deported to Iraq for that shit.

just as clarification. "Capping" someone in reference to shooting them means to shoot them in the knee. Its an old SAS term that has been missused thanks to pop culture.
