This study will examine why the government decided against the recommendation of the armed forces. The method used is a theory-consuming case study and two theories from Allison & Zelikow's theoretical models for decision-making, named Rational Actor Model and Government Politics Model. The result of the analysis is that the decision was both rational and a product of bargaining with different players. (Less)
