As I said, I’m aware of the economic conditions and of the Iranian hostage crisis. I do agree that Carter was in over his head though.

I don’t. He was a far better President than Reagan. His defense policies (pushing the B-2 stealth bomber,which eventually broke the back of the Soviet Air Defense budget, while killing the nearly worthless B-1 was one good example. Pity it did was a money sucking vampire) were on the whole better and if they’d sent more helicopters on that mission he’d have been re-elected despite Reagan’s treasonous dealings with Iran.
