Even Israeli generals have conceded that the defeat of Iraq, one of the most powerful Muslim armies in the Middle East, by only three divisions in 22 days with only 100 casualties is amazing. Some Israeli generals say it surpasses their 1967 victory in the Six Day War.

That is absolutely amazing if you stop to think about it.

The American military was built to meet and defeat the Soviet machine ... it is the best-equipped and best-trained military on the planet ... Thank God ...

But the world will have to pick up the slack ... there are many forces loose in our world today and they're not just after America and Israel ... China has some real issues with the potential of nuclear war by India / Pakistan near their Western border and North Korea vs. South Korea / Japan on their Eastern border, for starters ...

Yes it is. But a quibble with the article. We had a little over 100 KIA, but the term "casualties" includes wounded. We had about 400 WIA. The Brits had some too. The overall casualties were probably 600-750. That is remarkable enough, there is no reason to whittle it down to 100.
