108. I could tell you stories about the failed rescue mission.
I dated the ex-girlfriend of the mission commander and she told me stories that will never be declassified.

It was a mother of all fuck ups and Carter had nothing to do with it.

When the team abandoned the landing site after the tragic collision between one of the helos and a C-130, they left behind the complete mission op plan, overhead imagery of the target and a list of Iranians that were on our payroll. The Iranians rolled up almost all of our agents because of that.

A follow-on mission would have been almost impossible without an invasion.
