This guy had obviously had enough of MREs. While the concept seems sort of cool, anyone who has eaten them exclusively for any length of time can tell you that they [b]SUCK![/b] And no, I won't tell you how I really feel.
Pluck it, gut it, cut the head and feet off and put it on a spit. Mmmmmm...emu-licious. That's good eatin' FMCDH Semper Fidelis Jarhead out. |

Hell how things have changed.
Basic training, Fort Knox, Kentucky, We were qualifying with the M16. About 5 turkeys come wondering over the 300 meter berm, WHILE WE WERE FIRING! The RO calls a cease fire. A DI comes from behind me (I was sighted in and wanted to pop one) and snatches the rifle out of my hands (I was prone) and starts walking out in front of the firing line. He gets in to a sitting position and procedes to pop 3 of the 5 turkeys before the survivors get back over the berm. He sends a couple of cruits down (double timing of course) to get the birds. He and a couple other DIs field dress and pluck the turkeys and pack them in ice and it's back to qualifying. |

Remember the incident in Canada when an American ballplayer hit a bird (with a thrown ball) on a play DURING a game. Yankees vs Blue Jays? Dave Winfield?
He was Detained after the game. Arrested? This world is going crazy. There's no perspective. |

Actually, the Aussies use Emus much like the VC used peasants and kids during Nam.
They booby trap em. That Marine done the right thing. |

Well,
What would we be saying if visting Australian troopers shot a balled eagle during a training mission??? Kinda makes you think... With that said, I think the NRA needs to add an emu target to long range rifle comps. |

Boy this brings back a funny memory. Was in Saudi Arabia and a fellow 82nd trooper shot a camel with a LAW. What was not so funny was the owner of the camel said it was a prize race camel and the US owed him $50,000 for it.
Trooper went to Leavenworth. |

What do you want to bet that the death of this emu will be investigated more than the death of Vince Foster?
They've probably got a couple companies on line, shuffling through the outback, looking for emu feathers. |

I'd be pretty pissed off if someone shot my pet or livestock for jollies. |

Wow. Our guy shoots a freakin' emu and the wargames are halted, thus driving up the cost of the exercise. Meanwhile, in Communist China where wargames increasingly use the USA as the "enemy", does anyone think the Chicoms would cease fire if one of their grunts shot a panda bear?

Emus are not endangered at all. Think of them as a six foot tall 120 pound pigeon. I lived in Australia for a couple of years in a small outback town. They hung out at the town tip (dump) and the grocery store hunting for food. They are a real danger on the road as they don't fear cars (like the damn 'roos which are 125 pound rats) but since they're top heavy on them skinny legs when you hit them with your car they normally end up going though the windscreen (windshield).
