Here is an idea (if we all stick together) that might just work. The GAS WAR is on, there is no doubt about it, so why not join the resistances.

Hello Lawrence - I really don't know anything beyond what I have in the article. The period I wrote of took place in the 1960's while I was stationed in the Far East. Dad never wrote down anything about his experiences so we don't have any written record. I put down what I remember from the days whe...
