The Persian Gulf War (2 August 1990 o 28 February 1991), codenamed Operation Desert Storm (17 January 1991 o 28 February 1991) commonly referred to as simply the Gulf War, was a war waged by a UN-authorized coalition force from 34 nations led by the United States, against Iraq in response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait.
The war is also known under other names, such as the First Gulf War, Gulf War I, or the Iraq War,[12][13][14] before the term "Iraq War" became identified instead with the 2003 Iraq War (also referred to in the U.S. as "Operation Iraqi Freedom").
The invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi troops that began 2 August 1990 was met with international condemnation, and brought immediate economic sanctionsagainst Iraq by members of the UN Security Council. U.S. President George H. W. Bush deployed American forces into Saudi Arabia, and urged other countries to send their own forces to the scene. An array of nations joined the coalition. The great majority of the military forces in the coalition were from the United States, with Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and Egypt as leading contributors, in that order. Around US$36 billion of the US$60 billion cost was paid by Saudi Arabia.[15]
The war was marked by the beginning of live news on the front lines of the fight, with the primacy of the U.S. network CNN.[16][17][18] The war has also earned the nickname Video Game War after the daily broadcast images on board the American bombers during Operation Desert Storm.[19][20]
The initial conflict to expel Iraqi troops from Kuwait began with an aerial bombardment on 17 January 1991. This was followed by a ground assault on 23 February. This was a decisive victory for the coalition forces, who liberated Kuwait and advanced into Iraqi territory. The coalition ceased their advance, and declared a cease-fire 100 hours after the ground campaign started. Aerial and ground combat was confined to Iraq, Kuwait, and areas on the border of Saudi Arabia. However, Iraq launched Scud missiles against coalition military targets in Saudi Arabia and against Israel.

Update #9 : by STEALTHy 06/22/2012 8:47:00 pmJun 22nd, 2012
I've organized and constructed my fleet for the operation with ships such as the USS Missouri with its tomahawk missiles. More pictures will be revealed shortly. I've also added a missile system to my Navy Destroyer. All pictures are not final such as the missile and are due for change in the future.
Construction of Ah-64, Iraq bases, fuel depots and motor pools are under development for destruction. Possible texture pack options under construction.

I will say in closing that yes, I WAS there and enlisted at the time. I'm not trying to offend anyone just trying to straighten out a few of the details. Please take no offense, just trying to help.
