And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Interesting: the max rate of fire on this M777 is 5 RPM. The 5"/38 we played with in the Navy was hand loaded, semi-fixed and fired at 15 RPM. Tony Canales and I did 22 RPM once but you're asking for problems. I need to find a video of this howitzer being loaded.
