My oldest daughter was born just after the first Gulf War ended. All the medical staff had gone to Europe to set up for the expected scads of scads of casualties, and we thought there’d be nobody but the oral surgeon to deliver our babies!
Yeah... and like only a handful total died. More people die in the ERs around the country than die in the Iraq war each day.
