I made no such argument. The military action failed. Thereafter, the
Pentagon revised Special Forces training, so there were lessons learned.

You accused Jimmy Carter of mishandling the hostage affair and allowing
the Ayatollah to take power. Of course I disagreed because there was
nothing to agree with. You didn't tell us what you feel Carter
mishandled. Grabbing diplomats was an act of war. You wanted Carter to
escalate into a full-blown conflict with Iran? Something less than that?

Follow through on your thought.
