At least they have the gall to stand up for what they believe in.

Also, they operate knowing that they will go to jail if they are caught. They go up against some pretty big fish and are still around. It's scary to think what they are capable of. Or maybe it's all for show. Who knows.

So do the Nigerian scam artists. Going up against the "big fish" of the US government doesn't make your cause honorable.

While I agree in theory with some of their stances (like, violating Google's terms-of-service agreement shouldn't be a felony), I don't agree with their methods (punishing Sony by publishing the credit card numbers of everyone on PSN) or some of their other stances (Let's help Wikileaks spread state secrets because government is bad).

Never did I write that I think/thought annoymous' actions were "honorable" or that they were "heroes", so you both can stop acting as such.

I'm simply stating that a bunch of nerds behind computers were able to completely bring down a government website on multiple occasions, on top of other acts of cyber crime, and are still, for the most part, at large. And nobody knows who they are.

Sort of.

It was a comparison to demo that just because someone is willing to fight for something doesn't make them or their something honorable. Could have said "militants firing RPGs at U.S. troops."

Except, you know, they're not killing people.

I like the lightening fast response from security.

I like the old guy in the tan jacket who comes up at the end to take his turn

OK, anyone know the most esteemed retired fighter pilot who posed for this picture??? Couldn't have been anyone from this forum.

I'm guessing F-15 driver based on the extreme number of eagles visible in that pic? I'm counting at least 10...

I'm sorry I can't hear you above how awesome that T-Shirt is.

You gotta go read the comments on that page, pure gold:

This is my most fave shirt to wear to my Neighborhood Watch meetings.

In the face of danger wearing this shirt bestows upon me the incredible strength and fortitude of Eagle-man Fighter Pilot. . . the man, the bird, the legend.

Looks like we've found a portrait of Rainman.

This is the only known photo of Rainman...

He's always saying he wears a bag to work!

And it's not me, I'm not that young or thin!

Cheers! M2

Where is Rainman? Haven't seen any posts in a while....

He was admitted to the nursing home as a surprise by his family over the holidays. He's probably playing Bingo in the activity room right now.

These fuckers show up to Schriever every October to protest the military use of space. My favorite line: "those sneaky sneaky Air Force base people."

Here is the real WTF moment. They brought an 80-yeard old disabled woman out in 2009, she probably died of pneumonia shortly after.

I wonder if they used GPS in those vehicles to find their protest spot...
