Operation Eagle Claw

Twenty-five years ago today.

Thanks to Dusty at Argghhh! for the reminder.

P.S. To any Aussies and Kiwis out there - today is ANZAC Day. (Thanks, John!)
One of these days, I need to read up on Gallipoli and Vimy Ridge. Because those battles in the First World War started loosening the knot of the British Empire, and ultimately led to its demise. John provides an explanation.

P.P.S. Yes, I find a lot of cool stuff at Argghhh! You probably ought to save yourself a trip and just go there regularly.
