So do you remember?
Do you remember oil fields on fire?
How about Israel withstanding scud missle attacks, and standing fast ?
How about veterans who served who are now experiencing what may be symptoms caused by gases ?

Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.

/me gets the AA gun on standby for the next time he wants Pekka to shut up

You've an AA gun on the roof?

[Pekka]

The real trick is to forget about shooting planes with those, but to aim them to ground troops, now that makes you feel all that is MAN!

I am sure I don't have to tell you the benefits on the Vulacan M163 SP-AA in the area you've described above.

you know, I've got one parked across the road.

Does anyone know if there's any programs, good documents, anything from that war? I'd have use for it, so if anyone knows anything, let me know. I'm not interested in movies, but real documents or programs, I prefer some action, not only politicians speeches.

The History Channel has done a number of great programs on the Gulf War. I'm not sure if you guys in Scandinavia get the History Channel but you might be able to buy some of their tapes off of the internet.

Let's face it; AA is next to useless in a modern air war. It is still effective against very low flying planes but most modern aircraft can and do fly above it. No, for real attack and defense missiles are where it's at.

[Pekka]

oerdin, I think we don't get that.. but thanks for the tip, I'm sure they sell them somewhere.

[Pekka]

Oerdin, AA is all about missiles too. Sure, AA guns are pretty useless. But it's all missiles now anyway.

[Az]

AAA is still one of the best ways to turn Helicopters into cheese.

[Pekka]

Yeah.. well about once a month another chopper comes down in Chechen so.. It still has important role in the big picture, it's not effective alone naturally.

Helicopters shouldn't be however used alone in raging wars, but with fighters covering. But it's not possible everytime.. And that's my wet dream .

Though, I'm not that AA anyway, I'm all infantry!!

[Az]

Grunt!

Yes, I remember the war to. Is was July 3, the North invaded the South, wait a minute that was the Korea war.
In the gulf war, Iraq did not surrender. We sign a cease fire agreement with them, if Sadam would remove all of his weapons and some other things. Sadam has not live up to his agreements with the UN forces. The war is still on, even today as with North Korea because we only sign a cease fire with them. War is over when one side sign a peace agreement with the other side, as in we surrender to you.
It is funny that most of you forgot already that in Tony Blaire speech a few days after 9/11 he said, we meaning the United States and Great Britain can so longer stand aside and allow dictator run amok.
So here is Bush Jr., to remove one of them and a lot of people wants to leave him in power.
How many of you know that today in Iraq several people died, because Sadam order it, because they did not kiss his ass the proper way?
