What Would it Take to Get Carter in 1980?

LA: Eagle Claw doesn't fix stagflation, Carter's ineffectiveness as a leader and weak foreign policy. He was the wrong man at the wrong time.

Yeah, but in this reality, he saved the hostages. What? You don't like the man who saved the hostages? Maybe that means you don't love America. Why don't you move to Irania, you terrorist! :D

So we'd be seeing MacAulay's "The Soviet Invasion of Iran, 1981" but a year early and the US instead of the Soviets? I should PM Mac...

The American Invasion Of Iran, 1980...that's...scary. Very scary. And yet, it'd still have Oliver North...

Scary for many reasons. Though Carter was just starting to build up the military in his last year, it was nothing compared to the Reagan years. We just weren't ready. I remember a statistic about how in the late 70's an American USAF base in Germany had 72 F-15's stationed there. 70 were down for spare parts, 2 were operational!:eek:

Scariest of all, I:eek::eek::eek: was scheduled for the very first group to be drafted. The thought of fighting in the mountains of Iran{taking classes at the University of Toronto:D} wasn't something to look forward to. I HATE the thought of desert mountains{10 month winters:D}.
