On this day in 1980, six American diplomats, travelling with valid Canadian passports, escaped Iran.
They were hidden for months by Canadians, who played a massive role in their escape.
Let's learn the real (not the Argo version) story of The Canadian Caper.

ALT This photo shows a group of people standing behind a barrier, holding up a banner that reads "THANK YOU CANADA." The setting appears to be indoors, possibly at an event or a public gathering. The banner is prominently displayed, and there is a maple leaf symbol on the left side of the image, reinforcing the Canadian theme. The people in the photo seem to be expressing gratitude, likely towards Canada for some form of support or action. The atmosphere looks celebratory or appreciative.

Workers at the first unionized Chipotle are asking customers to boycott the chain.
When they formed their union they just asked for a $2 raise, consistent schedules and fully-staffed restaurants.
Two years later they have no union contract.

Discussed “training scars” with a CSM today - how timed ruck marches in tight formations teach soldiers to march close together, even in the field where dispersion is key. We should always be training as we fight.
What other training scars are we teaching, & how can we fix them?

“We will have a form of warfare that we conduct more regularly than any other.”
“And it will be called ‘regular warfare,’ sir?”
“No, we shall call it irregular.”
“So, our army will be suitably prepared for irregular warfare?”
“No, as we are ever drawn to decisive battle.”
