If anyone cares for historical action movies and has Netflix they can check out The Seige at Jadotville...about the struggle for control of the Uranium in Katanga. Like most people in those days i had little knowledge of what was going on.

I saw it recently on NetFlix. It was excellent. Things like that happen more often than the average person realizes.

I watched it on your recommendation Phil. I enjoyed it immensely. Now Netflix is recommending I watch a bunch of other war movies. Rolling Eyes

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..

Some commentator once said that the only way most Americans learn about History or Geography is when we are at war with that country.

True enough, though that doesn't take philatelists into account.
