    He may be too old now, but David Morse would be perfect to play Muse in a movie about the mission. Proof of Life Part II maybe (LOL)

    Please take a video crew and capture / publish interviews with some of the guys. The last videos were incredible but there weren’t enough of them ..

      We’re about to drop a few more videos from Eagle Claw that we filmed. You’ll be blown away by what we’re about to put out. We’re a small staff of volunteers and we needed to focus on our day jobs for a bit, but we’re rallying to get our content out now. We’re planning to do more interviews with the participants of Acid Gambit this year, as well.
