[Blood of Tyrants]

In the Navy, we were shown Trial by Fire, a documentary of this event, at our yearly fire fighting training.

They even showed that documentary to ROTC classes. Learn or Burn, Baby!.

Yes, I saw it as well. Hard lessons, learned in blood. And it left an impression. You might be of the same generation...did you see "The Man from LOX"?

Most guys I knew really remembered it because of the ending. We were all young guys, and times were different (They could never, ever make a training film like this today) so we all appreciated this:

Girl: "Hi Sailor...want to go to the beach?"

Sailor: "I can't go now, I have to get this cart back, or the Safety Officer is gonna have my ass."

Then, when he gets it back, the Safety Officer notices he got it back in good order:

Safety Officer: "Sailor..."

Safety Officer: "...I'm gonna have your ass!"

So, yeah. That dangled the hook, made us all snicker, and laugh, but when they showed that horribly burned guy at the end, nobody laughed, and everyone remembered the lesson: Don't mess with LOX.
