That was a fantastic reply to her. People forget that era. There were belt fed machine guns set up in the entrances to the Pentagon. Those rioters were a serious communist insurgency.

Funny how they never mention the 1954 attack of the Capitol by Puerto Rican terrorists that wounded 5 Congressmen.

I think it was related to phone conversations we were having where she was worried about what was going on at the time and about her beloved Trump being attacked so much and that email was intended to give her some context about violence and political events and console her in some way.

She gave a nice reply so I guess it helped her in some way, or maybe it started her having nightmares about the 60s (70s).

“””” There were belt fed machine guns set up in the entrances to the Pentagon””””

I had just moved to Florida with a friend who was building the first dragster that had a (rear? front? I don’t remember) for Big Daddy Don Garlitts, at his residence when at someone’s house that had a TV I saw the 82nd Airborne was moving into DC and I thought big violence was coming so I asked the people for a paper bag to hold my stuff in and I started hitch-hiking to DC.
