"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin "A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury." -Alexander Fraser Tytler
"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

It is. Notice the tube doors open at the bottom of the pic. If I remember right, we were bringing them a dewatering pump, I think they had some sort of leak and needed an extra pump.
