the barbaric treatment of the bodies of service members killed in the failed rescue of the American hostages in 1980. I have never felt such impotent rage, and I grieved for the families of the service members who saw their loved ones joyfully paraded through the streets in Iran.

I hope we never see a repeat of that horrific spectacle.

Not to mention, I doubt that the felon-in-chief had any idea what he was getting into, he has little knowledge of history unlike most Americans.
