US peacekeepers didn’t work out in Lebanon under Reagan, either. They are targets, and their hands are tied.

Reagan made this error :when you bluff with the US military as a deterrence..it must have teeth. We allowed the death of our Marines to go unpunished..paper tiger indeed.

They are targets, and their hands are tied.One of Reagans' few serious errors--putting "peacekeepers" in where there was no peace to keep. At least he learned from it and never tried it again, more than can be said for most of the rest of Washington.
