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.

Decent protection and a big gun are always useful in a low-mid intensity conflict and in city fighting. Heck, the Stryker gun system (with the 105mm from the M1s) is a decent 'light tank.'
