Twas not a great victory or great generalship.

Tell me please, where Stormin Norman made mistakes in his generalling of Desert Storm? (Just as I predicted - even one of the most respected generals gets dumped on by know-nothings here who've never put on a US uniform, but can't abide anyone, even a decorated combat leader, who honestly disagrees with them about Iraq)

You missed the point. There was no need for great generalship, just the pedestrian application of overwhelming force. Schwartzkopf didn't make any major mistakes. It was no contest.

I was in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield/Storm and visted Kuwait a few days after the war was over. I toured the burning oilfields and the mile of death.

I served as a naval officer for 8 years including a year in Vietnam during the Tet offensive. Where did you serve?
