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.

Three Japanese oilers on fire in Cam Ranh Bay, WWII, as the likely culprit flies away unscathed.
And the crews of those tankers probably died in a sea of burning oil.
Full disclosure: My Dad was an engineer on gasoline tankers sailing the Pacific in WWII. The hazards those men faced was kind of an untold story of courage during that time period. Love ya, Dad.
How 'bout them three fellahs flying top CAP? They look pretty shady, too!
