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? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
In 1996 at NAVCENT as deputy under assistant 2nd salvage officer for 5th fleet we recovered a P3 to see why it shed a propeller blade that 'walked' under the airframe, opening it up and causing the plane to ditch. The wreck was left at Fuj as a warning to all. One of the crewman told me how the blade sliced through the plane about 6" away from him as it departed heading towards Iran.
Those are really big scary looking scimitars of death.
