In 2004, I was a soldier serving in Iraq when Ollie North came to our base for his show.

My platoon sergeant told us he was in our motor pool if anyone wanted to meet him.
My response was "Why would I want to shake hands with some asshole who sold stingers to Iran?"
"Good point." He responded.

But he got out of his Iran stuff mainly by late 1970s,
Before the Iran Contra crap by Reagan
But knew some of the players, he knew a shit storm was coming
BEFORE it was in any news reports.
His CIA NSA buddies, on Need To Know Basis, but Dad was up there
where he KNEW, and most others did not.
