LOL yeah grenada took all of our resources and I guess beirut was bad timing. You may not know in the 80s we had a two-front war capability That is MAJOR wars, you remeber like WWII. call it want you want we bailed and Iran became stonger.
At that time there were 90,000 marines at Pendleton alone I guess we didn’t have enough to send to grenada and stay in Lebanon And grenada lasted soooo long.
Carter, Reagan, Bush 2, Obama, Biden all giving Iran a pass even as they threaten us and develop a bomb and remain the leading terrorist state in the world. What will it take for people like you to wake up, a nuclear explosion in the NY harbor?
LOL, it wasn’t a matter of a shortage, it was a matter of getting sidetracked from Reagan’s goal.
Reagan had a plan to end the Cold War and getting bogged down in the ME was not helpful in that plan.
Reagan pulled off the impossible with little loss of life, so he was doing something right.
