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.
The Viet Nam War had ended for most of the US three years earlier, but Saigon fell April 30 the year before. I was in the service in 1976, snapping necks and cashing checks.
