You might also mention Reagan putting up 200 marines
in a hotel in Lebanon as a show of force in the region
against the advice of a number of generals.
200 marines died in that hotel.

The hostage situation in Iran was bad but we did not lose 200
good people in one swift action. Iran was going to crumble.
The writing was on the wall before Carter. Carter did not help
the situation however. The Shah just fell faster than under
Carter than he would have anyway.
