That Time There Was Gorilla Warfare

As a kid, my dad would watch Planet of the Apes movie marathons in front of us. We were a tad bit young for such movies and I remember getting really freaked out when I heard on the evening news that guerillas had taken over a bridge in Central America and how the American soldiers might have to intervene. I don't remember the details because I was young, but I do remember being terrified that actual GORILLAS in the jungles of Central America had gotten a hold of guns and were taking over bridges and holding humans hostage. I think I even started to cry until my mom tried to explain to me that guerillas weren't monkeys. DAMN YOU APES!
