General Discussion

Just outside the gates of Tehran waiting on the helicopters to cross the border into Iran to go in and retrieve the hostages.
The refueling stop where the helos became damaged and had to abort was unplanned. They still should have had 3/4 of their fuel left from where they took off, that was just a last minute decision after they had already took off to start the mission and in mid air .
He always wondered why the order went down to stop and top off in a rather sketch location to begin with, when there should have been more than enough fuel to get back to a relatively nearby friendly country after they picked up the hostages - after all, there was no issue picking up the special forces team at the rendezvous point and getting them back to base after the failed attempt.

He said he wasn't a conspiracy nut, but there were a couple things, especially the last minute order, in that situation that didn't make it seem as if it was a normal fubar. And it definitely affected the outcome of the election.
