Sometimes the animal wins, as Asher Watkins discovered. Watkins was an American trophy hunter. He traveled the world to find a variety of animals in the wild. And kill them. He was in South Africa on safari last Sunday, pursuing a 3,000lb Cape Buffalo bull in thick bush. Without warning, the buffalo burst from cover at 35mph and fatally struck Watkins, killing him almost instantly.

I'll check out the film. Thanks!
My FIL stayed in when the Army Air Corp became the Air Force. I have some incredible photos he took during bombing runs in their B-25 Mitchells.
Since supplies were so scarce, everything having to be flown over "the hump" to China from India, they developed a bombing technique for accuracy called "GLIP bombing." Most times, when they were going after a bridge or railroad, they where 100=200' off the deck, taking small arms fire.
The GLIP bombing technique and the B-25 "Bridge Busters"He's memorialized at the Flying Tiger museum in China. We have his silk map, bomber jacket, and a whole lot of photos he took from the cockpit. Another cool one is my FIL playing poker with Chennault and some of the other guys from his bomb group.

This is an interesting and historically important story he told me:
The reason China is communist today is because of what happened in the immediate aftermath of the Japanese surrender. Chinese Nationalist leader, Chiang Kai Shek, and Gen. Claire Chennault (commanding general of the 14th AAC in China) were good friends. Chennault's commanding officer, Gen Joseph Stillwell, heard Chiang Kai Shek went over his head to President Truman to demand Chennault be reinstated as commander of the 14th AAC, and got a big case of resentment against Chennault. So, when the Japanese surrendered, and Chiang asked for weapons to fight Mao, Stillwell ordered that only rusty pieces of artillery, guns, mortars, and other rusty weapons from the Pacific and CBI be given to Chiang Kai Shek's Chinese Nationalist forces.
When Chiang got the weapons most of them didn't work. And that is why the Chinese Nationalists lost to Mao, who was outnumbered by them. True story.
The complete story of how KGB has the Epstein files, why Silicon Valley is so pro-Russian and why Democrats did not do anything about it.
It started with Robert Maxwell, then Epstein, now Trump. Sex-trafficking, blackmailing, financial fraud on a huge scale.
