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.
When I was stationed with the 101st as a AH-1S Cobra helicopter repairman, one of my units helicopters landed in a farmers field. The xmsn was running hot. I took a replacement oil cooler fan to swap out and headed to the farm. While I was changing the fan out an old black guy showed up. He had the grisled hands of a man who had spent his life in the fields. We chatted for a bit and then he asked if he could look in the cockpit. I said "sure" and opened the ammo bay door so he could step up. The old guy climbed up, gazed upon the cockpit for about a minute, looked back at me and said "Damn! this thing has almost as many buttons and gauges as my combine" All I could do is smile.
