Description

The CIA, secretly training a rebel army in Colorado? It's more likely than you think. After World War II, the CIA used Camp Hale to train Tibetan resistance fighters during the late 1950s and early 1960s. One of the instructors, Anthony Poshepny, later became notorious for sketchy conduct during the Vietnam War.
