    The CIA secretly discovered and then raised from the seabed fragments of a lost soviet submarine in the 60s, in order to obtain soviet nuclear secrets and warheads. Some bodies were recovered with the wreckage.

    Even though it was a super secret operation and the middle of the cold war, the CIA put together a respectful and moving funeral ceremony for the soviet submariners onboard the recovery ship, and they were then buried at sea. The ceremony was filmed and later, after it was declassified, the ceremony was shared with the soviet leadership and the known families of the submariners.

        Don’t know, but one of them decided that lobotomys were a step to far for them to combat communism.

        People are people. We just always demonize the ones we disagree with. But it’s that demonization of others that makes people commit true evil acts

        Could be a double agent.

        With the CIA, I don’t know if your can ever really be too paranoid. The could war was wild.
