In this episode, host Russell Hillier is joined by author, veteran of the Canadian Airborne Regiment and bank robber, Darnell Bass.

It's been twenty years since its disbandment in the wake of the ill-fated mission to Somalia and yet the legend and mythos of the Canadian Airborne Regiment is still with us. Ask any soldier about the maroon beret, and you're bound to get a passionate response.
