May it be swift and decisive (for our side, of course).
I'm trying to remember if there is anything that particularly stands out for me, from when Desert Shield became Desert Storm ... not especially, although my boss at the time decided I was a brilliant military strategist because I called the start time correctly. (There's not a lot of mystery involved ... attacking the enemy in the middle of the night watch is pretty straightforward. It's when troops are most likely to be not paying attention.)
But anyway ...
I had several friends deployed as part of Desert Storm, and more this time around, it seems (between real life and online friends).
This should be a fairly photogenic war. Lots of video-game like guncam shots at the very least. I think you'll get your tracers, Toad. Don't worry too much about that.
I'm wondering how much of the "Welcome Americans, please take our rifles" footage we'll get this time out.
I'm also wondering if the 48 hour ultimatim will have the side effect (intended perhaps?) of encouraging them to shoot first.
