You have an interesting background - and family - nice.

I went to college at The Citadel - starting in 77’.

My freshman (knob) year - I played soccer and we had 4 Iranians on the team. They were sent over by the Shah for education
and military training.

When the Ayatollah took over - my friends were told to come home to Iran - or their families would be arrested.

When they flew home - they were arrested and shot.

I loved those guys - they were the nicest most generous men I ever met.

I hate the people who did that.

Thanks for that - I will add this to my weekend education and reading list.

In the past they usually draw them out in a gun battle and kill them, it is very rare they take them alive. Popular theory is they might tell them things they don't want to hear about their leaders, so they engineer a firefight and then just silence them.

They can protect certain people and point out how committed they are to helping us at the same time.

The news Conference with the PM was almost all about North Korea and the issues with that...no news on this happening....
