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.

Managed to go to a training session, with the FACS calling in fire from Spooky - its a horrific sound it makes, as its guns fire seemingly out of nowhere....
I witnessed these gunships in Vietnam. Firing up to 6,000 rounds per minute, the bullets made a solid line from the plane to the ground. Frightening even tho it was on my side. The name "Spooky" was apt.
