Usually, when warfare happens in the modern era, there aren't onesided victories. Usually, it's a pretty hard-fought war of attrition where both sides beat the shit out of each other. But...(lol) the winners in this instance...they didn't beat the shit out of the Iraqi army over a couple of months...no they did it over the course 2 days. In two days the United States military wantonly wreaked absolute mayhem on the Iraqi forces as they fled.Now, as we look back, on the anniversary of the last day of the destruction that we wrought on Highway 80, we can't help but reminisce and know that aside from the Battle of Fallujah, and the thrust to Baghdad in 2003, this is one of, if not the best performance our military has ever put on display. In the course of two days, we absolutely shwacked between 200 and 10,000 bad guys while smoke checking an estimated 1,800 to 2,700 vehicles. It was absolute mayhem and death for the Iraqis fleeing Kuwait City.Unlike many battles that we've had an overwhelming victory in, where we absolutely smashed ass, we've had casualties (such is the nature and price of warfare), here though, none. The massive amount of death we caused while having no losses of our own is no small feat. Say what you will about overwhelming technology etc... but surely statistically, with that many casualties, f***in' someone will get a lucky shot off and at least score one kill for honor or pride or some shit like that. But nope. Nope. Nope. Not in this case. It was completely and totally lopsided.Unrelenting fire from the skies rained down on those sonsofbitches and the world saw what would really happen if and when the United States decided to actually fight to win a war. It's the type of killing that makes you take a step back and say "F***. Wow. Shit. They f***in' killed everyone."
