Could someone tell me exactly what they do?
Sure. It's just a different way of presenting the flag during the playing of the national anthem, particularly if there isn't one on site otherwise. Color Guard of usually 4 service personnel will march the flag out to a prominent place where it's visible to everyone present.

I personally think its great!

Its one way to remind us "American" paintballers that we have soliders fighting for our freedom and safety. Its also a standard for "american" sports to have the color guard at sporting events.

Most Americans our proud of our Armed forces and I REALLY DOUBT its going to put paintball into a "war" simulation stereotype.


Thats just like saying, I duck hunt with a SHOT GUN so I belong to a millisha(sp).

Repairman, chill out

I asked a question cos A - I wanted to know if anyone else thought it was weird - some did, some didn't - and B - cos tha whole point of these forums is about debate, and sometimes if you wanna get a debate started you have to ask questions to get responses.

No hidden agenda here, just an innocent question. If you'd care to show me where in my post I offended tha marines in any way, shape or form then I'll gladly remove it.

peace

Oh Crap, you've let the cat out of the bag........now hands up who didnt know that TJ was made up? A sweepstake on who it is should be the subject of TJ's Friday Poll tommorrow.

:D :p :D
