and he let Iran kill 247 marines before he realized he was doing the wrong thing? You don’t pull out because you got people killed; you kill those who attacked them. That’s what a world power does. Our blunders have made us gun shy and the Iranians know how to run us. Maybe Trump will bring back the threat to them.

I was in the military then and was annoyed that Reagan took the responsibility for the Marines not better protecting their base.

The blunder would be following the foolishness you keep trying to sell and doing a knee jerk emotional redirection and loss of his focused goals that changed the world, and doing it for what would have been little result of any change.
