I consider that event to be the cause of Papa Bush, Colin Powell and most of the DoD losing their nerve to win that war.
That was the last time we fought like Americans--the results were staggering: Thousands and thousands of enemy dead; armored columns circling round and round enemy convoys like Cherokees around a wagon train; 27 miles long by 1 mile wide of burning hulks filled with 'crispy critters'; not a US man lost.
...And when we saw what we had done, we quailed. I think at the highest levels, the pantywaists felt we should rather lose than duplicate that.
We could have won this war in days, not months, if we could find the will to fight as Americans do.
As it is, we will slog on honorably, bleeding, and hopeless under the self-imposed yoke of political correctness: "It is far better to die than prevail."
