Grand Eagle will soar once again, but this time, under the codename, that I believe

Bo came up with himself, called Operation Lazarus.

Now, stories differ on what exactly happened, how the genesis of this really came about.

But one goes that in 1980, Ross Perot holds a big old party for 600 green berets in Fayetteville,

North Carolina, and Grites meets him there.

And the other one is that Grites goes down to Texas and meets with Perot, but nevertheless,

these guys were close.

They were boys.

And he claims that Perot gave him a mission from the DIA had General Ty, who would six

years later, testify that there were POWMIs missing in China, to rescue some POWs.

Now, there are more serious claims that he was actually given the mission by the Army's

intelligence support activity.

Yeah.

Steven Emerson, the ISA provided Bo with, quote, tens of thousands of dollars worth of cameras,

polygraph equipment, radio communications, and super important tickets to Bangkok.

So Grites funds this operation in part by selling book and movie rights to Clint Eastwood

and to William Shadner.

Yeah, Shadner was really into this.

He was really into this.

I would, we got to get Shadner on the show to talk about Grits.

Actually, we got to get Bo Grits on the show, but that's a story for another time.

That's the funny thing is like, he was really like, Bo knows the cinematic qualities of this.
