We came, we saw and we kicked Saddam’s f’n A**.
Between Operation Desert Shield/Storm, America faced the Earth’s 5th largest Army.
How quickly did we beat ‘em?
2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991 (6months, 3weeks and 5days)
Iraq sent up every thing that they had. Photo above shows anti-aircraft guns firing on the opening day of the War. (not counting covert SEALs/AH-64 Apache missions)
But our pilots put never before seen or battle tested technology to the ultimate test.
This one’s for the work-horse weapons.
The weapons that have come and gone but damn if our troops didn’t luv them.
We got tons of supplies, weapons and man-power from point A to B.
And our Men and Women fought day-night and into the next day.
This high-res gallery is for those who Served in the First Gulf War.
Everyone over 35-years old remembers the fast victory.
Over the years, it’s almost become a laughing thought.
But it was scary. Like biological weapons scary.
Yeah, it was the Hell that is War.
That being said…
…G-D, we rolled that bobble-head Saddam.
“Don’t wake a sleeping Dragon”
Because ol’ American mutts ain’t afraid to go into the fire of Harm’s Way.
Not to be left-out,
Thank you to our Allies who fought side-by-side with us too.
…and our bad-A hard working guys still battling in the Middle East.
“Thank You”
For all of us here at theChive.
