Lord love a duck, I remember the retired generals in Gulf War I on CNN (hey, it was the only thing we had, remember)?

They had for weeks told us, with maps and smirks, of the battle plans.

And I remember the night that we came by land and not by sea, as they and Saddam thought. To this day, I wish a had a photo of one general's open gaping mouth when he realized that he had been snookered.

LOL!!! I had forgotten about that.

Also remember the AF General Dugan who got fired for leaking war plans that ended up on CNN as an analyst. Wanted to throw something at the TV everytime he came on.

A fellow I worked with during GW-I had a brother who was a helicopter pilot with a medivac reserve unit that had been activated and sent to the desert. We knew from communications my friend got from his brother that there were some troups a lot farther west than would have been expected before the ground phase began. The hail Mary came as no great surprise to us when it happened.

One day during the ground phase a Lt Col had him take him for a ride over the Kuwaiti desert. They came upon a large group of 200 or so Iraqi soldiers who flagged them down so they could surrender. The only weopon they had in the helicopter was the Col's side arm. But they had 200 guys happy to be their prisoners!
