I am doing a history project, and wanted to know if anyone had some info on Desert Storm, stories, stats?

You're going to have to be more specific than that I think.

sunb! · September 29th, 2005

Specify what you need info on and I'll look into it for you. I have both military related and politics related material available.

I just wanted to know if anyone had some stories about Desert Storm. My friend's dad has given me a few, but I was hoping to get a few more.

Man, this is not helping. You are finding nice and available people over here, but you'll have to dismiss that term "stories" and specify: Personal experiences from ODS? Or the strategic and technical aspect? The timeline? What exactly?

A good book with ODS personal experience stories is "American Soldier" by Gen. Tommy Franks.

I also know a veteran who served in an armor unit in the Gulf.

Thank you seaman, there were a few personal stories, but alot of news reports.

Whispering Death · September 29th, 2005

I don't know what help this is but I saw a program on the hisotry channel the other week about the A-10. One of the clips was one of the first pilots to fire on the infamous "highway of death" saw so many targets he just thought his radar had F*ed up on him again. He dropped him bombs figuring something must be down there but they where still mystified when the squadron was debriefing... trying to figure out how all their radars could simultaniously have the same problem. It wasn't until the CNN cameras got there in the morning did they realize all those blips where real!

Narrow down to what you want and I might be able to help. As of now I have no clue what you want.
