This is more of a flashback in history, but I thought I would post it because the Iran-Contra deal was a very contentious deal for several high ranking NGO’s and a few military personnel acting under orders from President Reagan. This deal was to trade arms for hostages and the American people did not agree with the President’s strategy to return hostages. The media termed it “Arms Trafficking.”
Probably no one may remember Lt. Col. Oliver North, but he was better known as one of the deal makers in the Iran Hostage situation and also a central figure in the Iran-Contra swap that nearly cost North his silver Oak Leaf.
Lt. Col. North attended the State University of New York at Brockport (SUNY Brockport) for two years. While at Brockport, North spent a summer at the United States Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, and gained an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in 1963.
