I was in the miltary before and during DESERT STORM and I never recall anyone laughing at the Iraqi military. In fact I was horrified (as were others) at the blood bath they took before they were simply decimated in their retreta form Kuwiat. In fact, within weeks of that debacle, by Saddam’s tricking the US into letting them retain and use their helicopters, they managed to carry out another major campaign against the Shia and marsh arabs right under Colin Powell’s nose as tens of thousand of coalition troops stood by. Never underestimate any opponent who is desparate.
I don’t mean to make sport - just mean seeing this behavior out of this fool in the wh gives me new perspective on why militaries lose their edge and their discipline.
