4. But they can't! They're surrounded by killer trees on either side. Never know about those trees...

5. Some of what you say is true.

When I was at Camp Lejeune, the trees meant Ticks and all other forms of creatures.

These people are on a stroll.

6. Oh, not like that. I live in the PNW. Trees take people out year. Just sayin'

Besides, those guys might get lost in the trees and shoot each other....

So you were at the famous Camp Lejeune...

Any funny stories to tell?
