Hello, Insiders. As tensions with China build, the US Army is training soldiers for jungle warfare in Hawaii. In a new documentary, Graham Flanagan, Insider's chief video correspondent, spent 12 days inside this training course — where soldiers learn to fight, move, and survive in the jungle. Eighty students began the course on day one. Only 51 would graduate. That's today's Big Story. We're also covering: |
- Trying to save $200 on flight tickets by skiplagging was a "nightmare."
- What "Ted Lasso" gets wrong about venture capital.
- The house from the "Brady Bunch" is on the market for $5.5 million.
