“He said that the use of armored bulldozers and tanks with plow attachments to clear trenchlines in the ‘90 to ‘91 Gulf War was tantamount to a war crime.”

Interesting. What exactly was the problem with this in his view? What do you mean by the word, “attachments”?

Attachments are things which can be affixed to other things.
A plow attachment is a grader blade which can be put on the front of a large vehicle to move snow or dirt.

They. Are frequently put on tanks to allow them to dig a pit in which they can be so low in the ground that only the turret from the main gun up can be seen or targeted from the most likely approach direction.

Wars are not high society duals among the aristocracy.
There is no obligation to make your personnel just as likely to die as their opponents (Ron Paul’s beliefs to the contrary) and the dug in Iraqi troops were offered surrender terms before the battles commenced.

Maybe Iraq shouldn’t have invaded Kuwait.
