Think about that. We had Americans being held illegally as prisoners by a foreign country, their lives under constant threat, and American politicians lobbied for them to be imprisoned longer in order to win an election. Carter was working for the good of the American people, and Barnes and Connolly (not sure if Reagan knew) were trying to get Americans' illegal foreign imprisonment to last longer.

Ben Barnes and John Connolly deserve to be lined up against a wall and shot. They are the most despicable villains in American history.

If you haven't read it, here's a random article, but there are a bunch out there: https://www.texasstandard.org/storie...ober-surprise/

I've always had a good impression of Reagan, but if he knew about this, he moves to the very bottom of my list of presidents.

Edit: I probably should put this in the DC version, so we can delete if needed.
Nah.

If Carter had any ability, he would have gotten them out.

He was the Matt Cassel of presidents.
