So when the first three died, that’s where it was noticeable. “Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, the third time it is enemy action”. After three we would just shake our heads…no one ever thought it might be limited to only three. I’m tslkingcc bc a long time ago….perhaps expectations have changed.
