I read this story in USA Today last Friday and it has bothered me ever since... It was in the small section were all the states are listed and I read the Georgia snipit...
It seems that Ft. Benning GA is being overrun by feral pigs. The base commander is allowing the public to come onto their base and pay them $40 for every pig killed...
What the Hell? They are paying the Public to kill pigs...? This is crazy. I do not know if the soldiers are in Iraq right now but I am sure there are at least 1000 soldiers on base and this should be their job.... My rationale is that at least 50% of all soldiers probably have never killed anything before joining the military, so, it is very difficult to teach someone how to KILL something. Anyone can hit a target, can you hit a running pig, or a rag head at full sprint? This would have been a great opportunity for the Military to train these men to become killers. They could see the damage that an M-16 round does, and they could deal with the aftermath. Therefore, when they do go to Iraq - they can kill without feeling...
My other issue is - why the hell would the Military allow the Public to come onto their base with a Gun. That is a Federal Offense normally. I guess it is OK for Billy Bob and his 12 gauge to come on base but Habib with an AK47 is bad...
Crazy.
