Showed this to a coworker who was there as a sapper in the Royal Engineers. He says this would've been exactly what the British were listening to. Except that for him, it was on a tape in a boombox, and it'd be barely audible over the roar of the Centurion engineering vehicle he was riding in. Lots of New Order, Talking Heads, and Tears for Fears. They'd trade with other personnel to get tapes. Another crew had CDs, which were promptly scratched due to a sandstorm, and were then hung inside the tank as decorations. He still blows things up, but now it's civilian buildings getting demolished.

Out of nowhere’s they jump out and booked it towards the desert. he said them British dudes without hesitation got in a truck, gave chase, and absolutely beat the living shit out of those guys with their rifles. Good times I guess (they ran because they had two AKs shoved behind seat)

[@fastfishtoo4991]

My dad was an Aussie clearance diver here. Aus gov had committed to placing no troops on the ground, so he and his team went in without guns to clear out the Kuwaiti ports of sea mines (which involved swimming through every metre of oily water) and find and disable any leftover arms. The yanks found 6 silkworm missiles and blew them up (much to dad and the fellas' disappointment). When they found more, dad and a comrade got a truck and drove to the US base to acquire one of them (much to the American's disapproval). He then became the first person to disarm a silkworm missile. That missile is about to be displayed in the Australian war memorial!

My grandad was in the Rhodesian military and was leading the squad that arrested Mugabe in 1963.

What a relief that the war was over before we even realized it. I remember the pride and immense sense of achievement after winning the war. That and also playing Desert Strike with my dad on Sega.

This'll get buried but my old CO was an old school navy guy that fought in Gulf. My CO was an engineer on HMCS Athabaskan and liked to talk about watching American ships absolutely railing the shit out of Iraqi positions and the awe of being in such a massive fleet of ships. He thought the war would drag on for months or years and he was shocked how quickly the coalition curb stomped Iraq. Another cool story was a CPO I served under was a boarder from HMCS Huron. At some point during the late 80s, he ended up trading rank slips and souveniers with soviet sailors in the far east, and he gave both me and the other junior NCO I worked with a soviet LT Junior grade.
