Lol. Was that an actual quote Fm Patton or just the movie?

The Canadians are the ones who should feel slighted by Argo.

I'd be interested to know why you say this.

Because it completely slighted the Canadians’ role in the rescue, they were portrayed as bit players.

There was a movie that came out around 1981, called “The Canadian Caper” which I believe you could even watch on YouTube.

The movie is pure fiction. Most of the work getting the Americans out was done by the Canadians; the CIA’s main contribution was the fake visas that had the wrong date printed on them.
