Today in History....11/4/79 was the start of Americas GWOT, when the US Embassy in Tehran was seized by radical militants, kicking off both the GWOT and the 444 day hostage crisis.

Thank you for reminding me of this! This was one of the things that really hit home for me. The United States is always been The one to keep everyone safe, but when they ended up dealing with Tahran and the ayatollah, this type of situation was unheard of, because the United States we’re so used to being able to “deal with someone in authority” and when the ayatollah and his men and the students ransacked at Embassy, we learned a new way of dealing with situation, because we were not prepared to be able to deal with it in the way we normal he would.
it sucks that we had to go through this type of nonsense for 444 days before someone would actually be able to help get our people home. I have no problem with the religion and I have no problem with people who practice it, but I do have a problem with individuals who decide to do things that possibly hurt on people. When it comes to the ayatollah and I ran it is hard to know what the hell you should be able to do, and you have to be very careful what you say and do over there, because the wrong person finds out about what you’re doing, and it can cause waves. It sucks that we had to lose so many people in operation “eagle claw” to be able to try to rescue the hostages at desert one: when I think of that I always think of people who put their lives on the line to keep us safe: however when we’re dealing with the ayatollah, we are dealing with a whole new ballgame, and ever since we apparently agreed not to “sue Iran” for they did, we basically gave into them, to get everyone home.
I don’t know that, but I remember hearing stories about all those people who were asked to rescue those hostages. I believe there were eight people that died because of that miscalculation, and President Carter had to deal with that, but I still think that the way they should’ve dealt with this is to try to get them home faster, but since you’re dealing with Iran you don’t know what you were dealing with, and I’m not sure our people knew how to deal with such a response.
May we never forget the people who serve our country and whatever service they do, and may we never forget what they did to try to save our hostages over there.
