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.
My brother became an Army Ranger in Vietnam when they grabbed him from his unit after being there for 3 months. He spent 3 years in Vietnam before being sent home after he had been wounded the second time and he was the only survivor. He came back and had to go to FT Hood for permanent posting, but also FT Benning for Jump School cause he did not get it in Vietnam. He told me later he was not fond of jumping out of planes. He spent 3 more years in the Army and then became a Trucker in Texas. Later he was killed in an accident.
Check out this motorcycle escapade. A suburb near Brasilia. This girl on the back experienced a far more exciting ride. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12734059/The-worlds-BEST-police-chase-video-Nail-biting-motorbike-pursuit-citys-narrow-streets-leaves-viewers-stunned-right-dramatic-end.html
Awesome. I'd give somebodies right nut to do that. I did a little hang gliding in the late 70's. Then marriage, responsibilities, yada, yada, yada. I still fly in an occasional dream.
I know alot of guys who would like to do this... don't mean the flying part either...
