Tina and Hillary cover former US Army Colonel James C. Hiett and the Colombia Eagle Incident.
Tina’s Story
Colonel James Hiett served in the US Army for 24 years and ran the Anti-Drug Operations in Colombia. BUT when his wife enlists enlisted men to smuggle heroin, the Colonel jacks up his career.
Hillary’s Story
The SS Columbia Eagle was a military cargo ship used in World War 2 and later hauled supplies and ammunition to Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. BUT when two merchant marines disagree with US’s involvement in the war, they take over the ship in an armed mutiny.
