<< I love the military vehicle hobby, but we must remember that these
vehicles exist to accomplish a mission. That mission doesn't end once
they are done being used as vehicles. It can and does extend to them
being used for gunnery practice. >>
And today's Oklahoma City newspaper carries the sad story the the light
cruiser USS Oklahoma City, a WWII vet is /now/ being towed to Hawaii
where it will be used a gunnery target. A former captain says that that
is better than being sold as scrap. (Yeah, but not better than being saved
by someone that will apply tender loving care).
