Restraint means weakness to the sandfleas. How did that "rescue" go again? How many brave American soldiers died for Jimmy's "restraint"?

Here's something I'd forgotten about. Your post brought it back to mind. The sand fleas DID think us weak. Not long after the hostages were taken in Iran, our embassy in Afghanistan was attacked, sacked and our ambassador murdered. For the life of me, I can't remember as we did anything about that either. I'm working from memory here and it was 27 yrs. ago, but I think my facts are straight.
