Bullet proof glass would help to explain how two pantywaists held off the US Army for 6 hours. Or maybe the 6 hours is a fabricaton, too?

First of all, bullet proof glass doesn't exist. Secondly the bullet resistant glass that does exist is ineffective against military arms and completely ineffective against the 50 caliber and above weapons typical with all our units. The most effective bullet resistant glazing requires very heavy framing that in turn requires very heavy structural support.

The occupants did not hold out more than a few minutes. The fight once actually begun, was over in very short order. The time interval was the result of careful efforts by our onsite commander to assess the situation.

In any event, BR glass would have absolutely no influence on the outcome.

My guess is the Army spent 5 hours and 55 minutes trying to get them to surrender. Then they realized that the Hussein boys were less trouble dead than alive. The last five minutes were spent pumping TOWs into their crib.
