"Why start a war then not do everything you can do to finish it. Trump's stepping it up." We're not in a war. There has been no declaration of war, nor an AUMF. == "Remember viets nam? George HW Bush Kuwait? ..." Remember the Tonkin Gulf Resolution and the AUMF for Kuwait?

Luckiest Man in Iraq(Persian Gulf War) by General. Norman Schwarzkopf The phrase "the luckiest man in Kuwait running out the bomb on the bridge" likely refers to a famous piece of Gulf War footage shown by General Norman Schwarzkopf in a 1991 press conference. Schwarzkopf presented a bombing run video and quipped, "I'm now going to show you a picture of the luckiest man in Iraq on this particular day," as a vehicle on a bridge narrowly escaped a bomb strike. The video shows: A US pilot's crosshairs targeting a vehicle on a bridge. The vehicle moving out of the targeting sight just as the bomb hits the bridge and explodes. The story, widely circulated and available on platforms like YouTube as "The Luckiest Man in Iraq," became an iconic piece of media from the conflict, illustrating the precision of coalition airstrikes and the unpredictable nature of survival during wartime. The man's identity was never confirmed publicly, and the focus remained on his extraordinary stroke of luck.
