Ha! That's awesome.

Though disrespectful of the sacrifice.

Maybe we can find a compromise - paint them in watercolors so they can be hosed off periodically.

Maybe but then Again these memorials were put up by an occupying force so maybe not so much.

I don't know...the Romanians and Bulgarians have pretty good military records and are tough people in general. I wouldn't discount them against the Russians. Plus they have residual anger left over from Soviet times to fuel them, clearly.

Their cult of the machine has less funding, fewer tech-ups, fewer people to throw around.

Russia would really be gulping the kommie kool aid if they ratchet anything up with Bulgaria as a member of NATO.

In Bulgaria, war memorials paint you!


That's got to be the finest example of creative vandalism I've ever seen, including many of my own teenage exploits  ::)

Somehow the 'Last Post' for this thread in Current Events (on the main forum page) got defaced.  Instead of seeing the thread title, you see a '~'  tilde symbol.

The great thing about the NSA breaking the law is we can blame them for everything. Doesn't matter whether they're responsible - just blame them and move on.

Besides, it probably was them.  :coolsmiley:
