Are we remembering the 444 days? The melting of jimmy carter, the smashup in the desert rescue, the pure drip drip horror of that time. Putin has already announced that the irregulars ain’t none of his business –they’re our fault, you see, for stirring ‘em up. What do we do if these ‘uncontrollables’ (like the Iranian ‘students’) grab a bunch of American soldiers –maybe a med unit or somesuch –and haul ‘em off for a Hostage Crisis II ?

Shit –i hope command keeps it REAL tight over there, on the ground.
