38 years ago today, the US invaded a tiny Caribbean island, rescued a bunch of medical students, and rounded-up a group of gang members, along with their Cuban communist backers.

Don't remember this Cold War endeavor? Don't what we're talking about?

Hey there, friends! Happy Thursday morning!

Today is #InternationalPodcastDay and if you're looking for a new podcast on #NatSec, leadership, and history, we suggest this one. apple.co/3F6eQh9

We've got 74 episodes to comb through.

[1 OF 9]
[2 OF 9]

We've had some cool guests, such as entrepreneur Gary Vee [apple.co/3CZsssN], who spoke about empathetic leadership, motivation, and the value of failing.
[3 OF 9]

We had @PaulRieckhoff for Episode 56. As you'd expect, he had MUCH to say about the end of the war in Afghanistan, the 20th anniversary of 9/11, and the need for veterans to reach out for help: apple.co/2Y1dDXB

As the votes come in for Day3⃣ of DragonCannes 2, we figured we'd show you 7 videos that didn't QUITE make the cut for competition

Let's start with this "Project Ridgway" by Nick Stoyvoaski. Not sure what Project Ridgway is based on this video (lol), but cool graphics!

[1 of 7]
[2 of 7]

Here is the 2nd video that didn't make the cut for the DragonCannes 2 competition.

This "Our Boots" by Carlos Cuebas. It's a good concept, but doesn't quite go far enough. Could've used more pics, Carlos!
[3 of 7]

Next is this entry from the Greywolf Brigade, @1stcav3bct.

It's a STRONG piece [and, hey, @jr_liscano, it has TANKS], but the ending seems a little too abrupt.

#TDIDCH: Aug 23, 1973 – Nixon SecDef James Schlesinger announced the “Total Force Policy” as the new doctrine of American military preparedness. The policy integrated the Active, Guard, & reserve forces into a homogeneous fighting force.
[2 of 8]

Schlesinger’s policy coincided with the end of the draft, the end of the Vietnam War, and the start of Richard Nixon's All Volunteer Force.
[3 of 8]

The American war in Vietnam was fought primarily with active-duty forces. Neither LBJ nor Nixon mobilized the Reserves and National Guard in large numbers and instead relied on the draft.
