  • i was 7 yrsold this scared me up something bad i was ready wit my BB gun i remember it well.

  • @tiltm0d3 The Iowa class battleships that the US had in the Gulf carried a secondary battery of five inch guns. I don't recall that they ever got close enough to use them. The 16 inch main battery however got quite a workout. :)

  • 5 inch guns?

  • @EllusivSmith fucking retard.

  • Illuminati 

  • I was about 6 when this was going on and I loved every minute of it. It was better than a movie and every night on TV there were lots of jets, tanks, ships, and guns to look at. Didn't really think about the people who die at the time, but really that's the medias fault, because as you watch this you see that there is lots of show off but not much portrayal of what war is really like. Schwarzkopf actually ordering censoring of body count.

  • @publicmario17 There is "literal" speech and then there is "figurative" speech. Usually those who overtly strain over terms are considered to be "Pedantic".

  • @blaugot Your point is made, but you chose a pedantic way of stating it. The Treaty of Versailles ended the military war. For example, we are now saying that the US has "left" Iraq, but pedantic people will argue that we have not left since our embassy is still there along with civil engineers. We all know that the Treaty of Versailles was a huge mistake, disgraced the German people and directly led to Hitler's success. But TECHNICALLY the Treaty ended the war with Germany's complete surrender.

  • Skatana is active - i remember that night . Pilots understands that.

  • 6:22 DAMN YOU SHEPARD, i hope you get a knife in your eye!!!!
