US Army Considering Military Theme Park Next To Museum
Tuesday August 8th, 2006 / 15h24
FORT BELVOIR, Virginia (AP)--The U.S. Army is considering a proposal to allow a private developer to build a military theme park that would include "4D" rides and bars including a "1st Division Lounge."
Military officials said a massive entertainment and hotel complex built next to a national Army museum could draw more than 1 million people a year. But authorities in Fairfax County, Virginia, are objecting because of already traffic-clogged roads surrounding the proposed site.
Universal City Property Management III, of Orlando, Florida, submitted the unsolicited proposal for the theme park last year.
"You can command the latest M-1 tank, feel the rush of a paratrooper freefall, fly a Cobra Gunship or defend your B-17 as a waist gunner," according to the proposal, which was obtained by The Washington Post.
County officials have no authority over the Army's decision because the site is federal property. County Supervisor T. Dana Kauffman said he thought the entertainment concept died last year and said he had no interest in turning a military museum into "Disney on Rolling Road."
But the Army notified the county last week it is planning to move the military museum from Fort Belvoir to a site a few miles away that would be large enough for the entertainment complex.
The Washington Post reported that the Army is considering the entertainment venue to help offset the cost of the $300 million museum, which a spokesman said is scheduled to open in 2013.

I forwarded this lovely message to my contacts. Here's the most creative response:
Thanks for sending this Deborah! Isn?t this just great. Just what we need. I want to be in charge of the section of the theme park that has to do with slaughter of innocent civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan by our troops and the spreading of nuclear waste in the form of depleted uranium dust with a half life of thousands of years throughout the countries and the bodies of all our troops and all the people of the nation. Maybe we could have a special command rape section and a section for rape and murder of girls under 18, parents in front of their children and random shooting of cars and trucks driven by civilians on the street. Great idea! We need a Military Theme Park and I am so glad my country is spending time and energy planning for it so we can influence more recruits to represent the killing ideals of America. The mere 300 Million dollars plus so far is certainly not enough.
I want to be in charge of the museum and the theme park both. I would love to see an honest military theme park, splattered with dead meat and blood and dead civilians, dead dogs obliterated houses and crippled people, filled with photos and videos of free criminal activity, sadistic slaughter and rape and beatings and torture and the hilarity of the perpetrators. Perpetraitors. It is just great also that Disney is the one to propose this shit. I could puke. I would like to see an alternative military theme park to show the truth about what these God damned idiot sonsofbitches are trying to glorify.
