Maybe for a 14 year old MREs were good. I hated those things!!

Uh oh... where’s LouisTheroux to jump in here and say this story is just pro-American propaganda and the real door-kick-down was by European forces who charged in on horseback 10 years before the US arrived and used lances to disable Iraqi radars and that Britain and the Europeans would have taken care of Saddam…

If hate being that guy, don’t be that guy.

Actually, now it would be 4 or 6 drones followed by 2 b1 bombers.

It’s hard to realize how far warfare has come in such a short time. Apaches relying on Pavelows to hit a target 200 miles away, flying at house height.

Good article Tyler. I hope you’ve got more of these lesser known stories planned for this coming week. Thanks for sharing & kind regards.

Complete and utter destruction of Europe:

You realize, as you write this, that the Royal Navy had to hire US Coast Guard personnel to help man their ships because England can’t come up with the people do do it?

Jesus Christ...You bleeding hearts need to buck up a little bit. Hopefully you don’t live in my country. Saddam was actually far worse than the old pope you brought up.

I love when butthurt Americans always trot Lend-Lease out as their final argument, completely neglecting to mention that Lend-Lease didn’t start flowing in significant numbers until 1943, AKA the year after the turning point of the war has already been achieved at Stalingrad.

Damn dude,

Bullshit.

Yeah its entirely America’s fault and not Saddam for invading Kuwait and preparing for an invasion of Saudi Arabia. Pull your head out of your ass.

war is absolute fucking hell.

So I assume you’ve researched every incident thoroughly and completely understand the what, why, and where?

This is a valid point, as it would be to point out that the U.S. empowered Saddam Hussein’s war fighting ability in order to be our proxy against Iran. But he bit the hand that fed him, and he is dead, and I’m not sorry.

Exactly which resolution was that?

You’re quite misguided/uninformed.

And the legitimate logic in invading a nation and then refusing to leave when the entire world tells you too?
