Thirty years later, another war broke out—the War of Independence in Rhodesia—and many bullets were fired and mines exploded while he worked in forestry. But none bore his name. One lasting memory was a personal battle in Zimbabwe with a much-feared witch doctor called Henry. This confrontation was carried over into the astral plane, which was more remarkable as he had never set foot on the astral plane before.
When he flew into Saudi Arabia to take up a position in a pharmaceutical company, Saddam Hussein was also making his way into the country, but Hussein’s objectives were not as kindly disposed as his. Fortunately, Gerry was working closer to a forward US Desert Storm airbase than he was to Hussein’s invading forces.
Another perspective of war presented itself when working in Papua, New Guinea. One of his staff, an intelligent and hard-working Papuan, requested early leave. The reason given was his clan had declared war on a neighboring clan over a land dispute. The unwritten rules of engagement were battle that commenced at 8:00 AM and closed at 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday, for two weeks. The only allowable disruptions to this were luncheon and giving medical attention to the wounded.
Such a civilized aspect of warfare completed Gerry’s education on the subject.ver menos
