Sorry for the slur.

But....you are guilty as charged

The enemy you faced was trivial compared to the forces arrayed in the Gulf War.

Your enemy was already dead and strewn along the road from Kuwait to Iraq when you crossed the border

Your effort was great and commendable but don’t denigrate the effort nor the commander in ‘91.

One wonders if you even have a clue as to the forces arrayed against out troops at the counterattack into Kuwait.

Yes, I have a clue, and we steamrolled them in 100 hours. Color me unimpressed. I’ve no doubt it was dangerous as hell (war generally is), but it was Major Leaguers against Pee-Wee. No contest.

I’m also aware of the instances of our Soldiers watching from a distance Saddam’s goons massacring men, women, and children in a bid to consolidate power after his defeat. Our Soldiers could do nothing or they’d probably still be in prison to this day. That’s a stain on our honor.

Bush had his reasons for making the call he did, but I vehemently disagree with them. This all could’ve been over 15-20 years ago. Instead it’s still going on.
