Thinking Back Now to the Gulf War in 1991

The six day war. We began by bombing all the military facilities, the roads and bridges leading in and out of Bagdad. We pounded the desert rats with B-52 bombs for hours prior to the invasion. This was a modern military slaughter. Our troops fed warm meals every night. They could sit with their laptop computers and talk to love one's in a chatroom everynite. The war was like a movie that never ended on the news channels. When the tanks started rolling our troops hid behind them for cover. The enemy, surrenders by the thousands. This was no war. The military had war games tougher than this! Most of those killed in this war were from friendly fire. At the end of WW2, General Patton lined himself on the Russian Border, ready to move forward, only to be told by the president to retreat. Our troops had walk their way to the border of Bagdad, ready to move forward, only to be told to retreat. Saddam was a lucky devil!!

Have a Good Week
