He ordered the US military into action, they failed him, and Carter pursued political options (which also failed).

Actually they were going to free the hostages. Reagan got them to hold them til after the election because if they were freed before the election Jimmy could of won on that. Then Reagan sold them arms which was treason and north fell on his sword for him.
