I had a friend, he’s dead now from skin cancer, that was in the marines at this time. He was on a ship as part of a MEU in the Persian Gulf. He told me that the word on his ship that they would see action shortly after Regan took office. They released the hostages on Inauguration Day so they never saw action.

Carter gave the Iranians a shite load of money to release them. He was stupid because there was no way Iran was going to keep them when Regan took office. The old man had made it clear he wasn't going to put up with it. He would have turned that place into a piece of glass.
