This is a most beautiful comment. It sounds like you went from a hell to some happiness, but I bet it wasn’t easy. But I’m glad it happened for you. Back then, I was just a toddler watching the news with my dad, seeing military graphics and footage of nighttime firefights only evident by tracer rounds. I hope you can keep living in peace, and that your family thrives.

Hard to believe it's been so many years since Desert Shield/Storm. I was part of 4th MEB aboard the USS Nassau with the rest of Marine Amphibious forces. A couple of years ago, I visited MCB Quantico to see a friend of mine who still works there as a government employee after retiring from the Corps. As I checked in through the gates, the female MP looked at the "Desert Storm Veteran" hat I was wearing and gave me a quizzical look. Then her eyes widened and said "Hey cool, I think my Dad was in Desert Storm *BEFORE* he met my Mom.". Man, did I feel old.

I had been a Combat Medic in the US Army for 2 years when this started. Me and other Soldiers were itching to get over there but it never happened for most of us. I wouldn’t get another chance to get into a combat zone until 2004 in Iraq. A lot of vehicles from the “highway of death” were still there in 2004 and are probably still there.

Thank you James Donitz for everything, from the heart..... im crying now.
Patriot didnt engage the scud not because it was breaking apart by itself. They didnt engage because the radar had been running to long and the internal clock was off enough tocause problems with the system. The incident is still discussed quite a but in air defense as an example of why its absolutly important to follow maintenance procedures
Jesus, I thought that was a young Joe Rogan in the thumbnail, in Baghdad with the press. "Thanks Peter, yeah, the ground-and-pound here is incredible!"
I worked with a man who was working in Kuwait when the Iraqis came. He said he left everything and fled. It's actually a very interesting story he tells as a non soldier in a war zone.
Wow. This is truly "balanced" journalism compared to what is puked out at us now. Even Carole Simpson's piece was "balanced." Damn. I miss the days of Ted Koppel, Peter Jennings, and Tim Russert
Yes the MSM nowadays seems to think they're doing you a big favor by rolling news and opinion into the same entity and printing it on the front page. Lately, the 'Fourth Estate' is second rate.
I was with the 1st Infantry Division and we got in behind the Tawalkana Republican Guard Division. When we first started attacking them at 11pm we ran into a bunch of trucks and Infantry. Eventually we ran into their tanks at 430am. It was a slaughter.
So much. People usually just reporting observable information and occasionally allowing someone integral/relevant to give their opinion before going back to reporting Rather than endless vaguely verifiable scoops, and the journalists opinion. Constantly
It was nice to see the Kuwaiti forces moving in their own country. They had to be proud to take back their country! Kuwait is still a US ally to this day.
They're a tiny nation who was pushed around by a bully many times their size. We could not just stand by and watch, the stability of the entire Mideast was being threatened. The US-led coalition restored stability to the region.
I was a Marine in Kuwait City. When we reached the outskirts of the city we set up checkpoints. The Kuwait and Arab forces were let into the city by our recon guys. I saw one of my friends I hadn’t seen for a while at a checkpoint. An old man (national) drove up and got out of his car and walked up to my friend and said, “I’m going to go down to the street, turn left and get my family and I’ll be back this way in about 15 minutes.” My friend said, “You can go anywhere you want to sir, this is your country!” At that moment I could see in his face that he just realised he was free again. He hugged my friend and started crying!
The World was such a better place back in the Nineties, better people, more family oriented, no ISIs, many many WW2 Generation were alive.... God Bless The USA💪🇺🇲

09:44 Arab soldiers fighting over food....a Kurdish soldier in the background " Kura aiba kura aiba kura aiba" translation " its a shame it's a shame it's a shame ".
How can I forget 91?! I was a first-grader, dad enlisted in the United States Army, and my baby sister was born. Oh, and George Bush said we'd take Iraq in 100 days, and in 100 days, we kicked ass and bailed our friends... As usual.
Its crazy they insist scuds are inaccurate from 1km to 5 km and then they score a direct hit. Seeing they couldn't get close to the nuclear reactor in Israel it must of been a fluke.
Nunya F. Business and they will always “be” because there are black leaders who want to keep it that way. They make an easy living off of it and find themselves getting attention in the public eye.
They knocked down quite a few SCUDs with Patriot. However, the number of hits I believe was exaggerated. Their use was still much better than doing nothing. It's been more than 30 years since Kuwait and a lot has been learned and the product vastly improved. I can't imagine what the Army has today, but I'm sure that modern defense systems like this are a LOT more effective now than what they were in 1991.
