DC Tom Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) I know why they're closing. By 1939, tanks had replaced most of the horses used during WWI, he said. That's emphatically untrue. ALL armies were primarily horse-equipped in 1939; the user of motor vehicles was very narrowly concentrated in a few motorized units in most armies (e.g. the Panzerwaffe - the German Army was some 80-90% unmotorized even in to 1944.) So it's closing because it's run by ignorant morons who have no business running a museum. Go back to eating frogs, you grape-stomping truffle-sniffing monkeys. Edit: I want that Harley, though. Even though the tank would look nice in front of my supervillain lair... Edited August 20, 2016 by DC Tom
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 I'd love to have any of them, just to bug the Homeowners Assn.
/dev/null Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 By 1939, tanks had replaced most of the horses used during WWI, he said. Well yeah, the average lifespan of a horse is about 25 years. So most of the horses used during WWI were dead or too old for services I'd love to have any of them, just to bug the Homeowners Assn. My Fourth of July parties would end with a bang, and show up that annoying neighbor with the over the top Christmas lights
Saxum Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Edit: I want that Harley, though. Even though the tank would look nice in front of my supervillain lair... I like the Harley too and I do not even ride a motorcycle. I think they leant that one for some movies.
