After the tragedy that unfolded at Desert One, the attempted Delta Force rescue of American hostages held in Iran in 1980, the Pentagon was forced back to the drawing board. While it is easy to take for granted the Special Operations infrastructure that we have today, thirty years ago the military was still struggling in […]
