I agree entirely with the idea of rejoicing at a weapon destroyed.
However, something like this represents world history, as well as personal history. Life is more complex and nuanced than "weapons bad," because we live in that world as it is.
I served on the Enterprise in the late seventies, and while I can't say I'm sad, I'm definitely experiencing a nostalgic episode. (I never went to sea on the Enterprise, overhaul in the shipyard only, so I can't tell you anything more interesting than how to lay tile on a metal deck or how to use a needle gun to strip paint.)
- buster 14y agoThat would explain it for you, but i doubt all those commenters are your ex colleagues ;) I'm aware that life is complex. But comments like "hey, let's give it to Israel they can re-arm it and have a nice weapon there" make me sick, sorry.
- antidoh 14y agoYou don't have to have been somewhere to have nostalgia for it and its associations. Edit: I agree, better not to give it to anyone.
- buster 14y agoAh well, they should put it in a museum i guess, not scraping it. edit: Or make a museum out of it, with the size of the ship :P edit2: I see, and according to another link, the ship basically will be destroyed by removing the reactor, so there is no way around it...
