So roll your eyes till they fall out your socket, you are one person whose opinion I value as much as that aforementioned fly's buzzing. And not because of you political affiliation, but because I've spoken to fifth graders more sophisticated in politics than you.
I smell BS and you just proved it.

BTW, you forgot to mention what unit you were in that started in Kuwait then drove into Iraq in the same night. The only infantry units that I know of that was close enough to the SA, Kuwait and Iraq was the 3rd Marines, Air Cav and some coalition forces who could cross all three borders.

The fighting from SA into Kuwait was heavier than crossing the Kuwait/Iraq border and I cannot remember any unit spearheading into Kuwait then circling around into Iraq in the same night.

What was your mission? I know for a fact it wasn't recon or path-finding because they were in place hours before kickoff and were extracted after the fighting began. The only unit that could cover that amount of clicks in the same night were using air support. If you would tell me what unit we could put this to rest.
