Yes the U.S. had helicopters, B52s, and M60 tanks in Vietnam but it's nothing compared to the technology gain from 1971 to 1991. There was definitely WAY more government spending on research for weapon development than the pre-vietnam years.

the US Air Force is the cornerstone of US military power and its projection around the world. Rule the skies and you rule the earth beneath. That’s why the Air Force is so well funded compared to the other branches and why the other branches also have a ton of fighter planes, enough to make the top 5 list of strongest air forces in the world despite technically not being an Air Force. When a country’s damn NAVY has an air force superior to your actual Air Force, you know you’re screwed. Anyway, I know what branch I’m trying for if there’s ever a draft
@aviceennabasri5247, I'm not sure you understand the subject you are talking about *kid,* the US didn't just go in there for the oil, we went in there, because the Iraqis and Saddams army, invaded a *neutral, sovereign country* so they could do whatever the fuck. The US and her allies stepped in due to the *Iraqis putting naval mines in international waters* to destroy *civilian cargoships*
“We ever gonna see the end to this war, Kaz?” Kaz raised his head at his battle brother’s voice as they looked out on the CDF Peacemakers returning to their FOB to rearm and refuel, the sounds of distant explosions making his ears twitch as his phone played the soft melody of one of Tears for Fears’ best hits. He looked down to smile at it briefly before he answered his friend, it was a warm reminder of his time back on Earth; before getting roped into this war during his time with Star Fox. Looking back up to the German Shepherd man that just asked him a question, he shrugged his shoulders, simply giving him a grin befitting his wolfish lineage. “Honestly Kyle? I don’t know. Team’s been attached to your Battalion for the past three years now; and the Bugs don’t seem to wanna let the fuck up. But here’s what I do know. You got me, Krys, Fox, shit everybody on the team at your back; and long as we’re here you’re gonna get your ass back home to your folks.” “I know man, I just…this ain’t what I expected of war when I signed up. I thought we’d be fighting the Venomians again an shit dude, not….all of this.” Kaz chuckled sadly at that, leaning up against one of the Landmasters that dotted the improvised smoke pit, and watching as Kyle leaned back against it as well, his arms crossed as he looked off towards where another flight of Peacemakers was heading back into the fight. Kaz couldn’t help but find it funny; their campaign on Katina was swift, decisive. Reminded him of Desert Storm back home, and how his Uncle Dutch was assigned to one of the Marine divisions that helped the Kuwaitis retake their home. Fuck how things change, but somehow stay the same. That’s actually what brought him to show Kyle his playlist of music from that era, as the sun slowly began to rise over the far off horizon. “War’s Hell kid; nobody knows what to expect from it because it can change in an instant, all we can do is roll with the punches and hope to hit the opposition with a knockout blow early.” Kaz knew the dance by now; he was with Star Fox long enough and in the shit long enough that he knew how to deal with war. But Kyle…shit, Shepard was just a kid. Only a few years younger than Kaz sure, but fresh out of high school and already neck deep in blood and regrets. “When will we know when it’s over?” Kaz smiled sadly at that, and reached an arm out to wrap around the younger man’s shoulders. He was like a Big Brother to the kid since they met during Corneria City’s defense against the Aparoid invasion a year ago; and in a way Kaz was proud of how far Kyle came. But he still felt that clawing sadness seeing that flicker of innocence slowly dying in the kid’s eyes. “Wish I could say we’ll know when the time comes Kyle, but thing is…nobody knows. We just gotta stay strong, fight like Hell. Not because we hate what’s in front of us, even if we do. But because we don’t wanna lose what’s behind us.” Kaz’s Ma taught him that, and while Kyle frowned…Kaz could see that helped him, if only somewhat. “S’like Tears for Fears says Kyle, everybody wants to rule the world; might be the Bugs this year, but the next? Probly gonna be some megalomaniac following in Andross’ footsteps or somethin, but no matter what, we’ll be here. Because it’s in our blood to protect those we love. It’ll be hard to get ourselves up and fighting again, we’re sure as shit not gonna wanna…but we gotta. Because we can’t rely on other people to protect what’s precious to us.” Kaz felt for the kid, he really did…but he also knew Kyle needed to stay grounded to reality; it’d keep him stronger than chasing glory like some dumbass butter bars in the CDF would at the drop of a hat. And learning the lesson he had to learn was the first step in that journey; though Kaz did chuckle to himself at his most beloved friends, family and loved ones all fighting in this war too, looking out into the hazy early morning sky of Katina and grinning when he saw a trio of Arwings fly overhead. He recognized Krystal’s immediately by the deep blue stripes down the fuselage, and inside he smiled wider; his eyes fixed on what he would gladly give his life to protect. “But don’t worry kid. It’ll end sometime. Until then? Enjoy the little things. After all, minus all the carnage, Katina’s gorgeous this time of day.” And with that he left Kyle to it, whistling to himself as he prepared to join the others in their daily training exercises since they were kind enough to give him and Kyle an early morning fly-by.

I think desert storm is what actually killed the USSR. It was a conflict where a fully fortified eastern bloc nation faced what was NATO, and fell in just days. Whether or not it was right to engage is up for debate, but it was clear overnight that soviet technology could not face the west. We went. And we won.
The USSR collapsed because of the structural issue of the rxilc economic platform and its atheism. Without Western aid, the Soviets would have starved to death.
No. They will not. Americans have no produced a society worth obsessing over by virtue of their society being plagued with the myths of the Enlightenment. Modern pagans have already addressed America's legacy. Rome will forever be the standard for a civilization: paganism to Eastern Orthodoxy.
ah yeah, "500 years ago we had the great empire of the United States of America. why were they a great empire? Did the majority of their citizens live in relative comfort or wealth? No, okay... did they have fair labor practices and sided with people over profit? No, okay... the amount of people living paycheck to paycheck surely was lower than 40%! oh, it was above 50%? Well, at least they had big guns and killed foreign peoples so that the wealthy corporations could have more money at the detriment of both every American citizen and every citizen of the victim countries! killing people for money means you were a great empire even if the country was held together by torn duct-tape, right?" we will not be remembered as a great empire, we will be remembered as a stepping stone
@@Darth_Barnabythis one was quite justified tbh,I think you’re referring to the Iraq war (totally unjustified).Aesthetics wise I agree with you lol,one of my favorite ones
Old? The main tank the Iraqis were using was the T-72. This is also the main tank being used by Russia in Ukraine today. The tank might be old today, but it was still a capable and standard battle tank in 1991. The Iraqis also used the Mirage F1, which was still in production at that time. Even if you want to argue that the MiG-21 was outdated by 1991, the American counterpart, the F-4, was used by the US in that war.
The military dominance of the US at this time was truly unprecedented. The USSR was crumbling and on the brink of collapse, China had not yet risen to prominence, Japan's military was still regulated to be a purely defensive force, and Europe no longer had any true superpowers. The US was not only in a class of its own, it didn't even have "near-peer adversaries" as it does today. I doubt anyone alive today will live to see another nation rise to this level of power and hegemony.
i was there. serving my country. wasn't a cake walk. Lost friends, defended the US. And they expect me to defend man buns and pusy hats? No, good luck to you all!
Queers existed back then and now lmao Imagine becoming equivalent to college protestor in terms of your opinion of the US military bc there's ppl with manbuns and a womens march with pussy hats happened 😂
Matthew 24:6 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”
I have no idea how an actual war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact would have unfolded ... and the Gulf War is in no way a direct comparison, since it was top tier NATO forces vs second, or even third tier forces with Soviet export level equipment ... but at least it gives us a hint!
The US would've won on logistics alone. If you ever get the chance look up how soviet and now russian munitions are stored. Its a terrible system and it takes so much time to unpackage everything and load things.

The soviet union in its first 8 years maytred more Christians than in all previous centuries combined.
Its a tragedy you aren't aware.

Bullets and bombers are cool, but some solid respect is DESERVED here for the flex on those Bowie knives.
This is the war they made “Jarhead” about.
Literally the jarhead cut was the standart issue
14 year olds in 500 years are going to be obsessing over the united states like we do to rome and im totally here for it
No. They will not. Americans have no produced a society worth obsessing over by virtue of their society being plagued with the myths of the Enlightenment. Modern pagans have already addressed America's legacy.
Rome will forever be the standard for a civilization: paganism to Eastern Orthodoxy.
ah yeah, "500 years ago we had the great empire of the United States of America. why were they a great empire? Did the majority of their citizens live in relative comfort or wealth? No, okay... did they have fair labor practices and sided with people over profit? No, okay... the amount of people living paycheck to paycheck surely was lower than 40%! oh, it was above 50%? Well, at least they had big guns and killed foreign peoples so that the wealthy corporations could have more money at the detriment of both every American citizen and every citizen of the victim countries! killing people for money means you were a great empire even if the country was held together by torn duct-tape, right?"
we will not be remembered as a great empire, we will be remembered as a stepping stone

I like your edits, good stuff dude!

This is my opinion as a non american:
Desert Storm: 100% justified
Afghanistan War: 70% justified
Iraq invasion: 5% justified
What do you think of Vietnam or Korea
@@bigbrainedSteveas an non-american:
Vietnam war-90%
Korea war-100%
Iraq war-30%
Afghanistan -80%
Desert storm 92%
@@Didlythefidler that’s pretty close to my opinions as an American. We had no business being in Iraq going after Hussein.
@@DidlythefidlerVietnam was more like 25% due to the domino theory.

Is it okay to tell ppl that i fw this kinda edits..
By far my favorite war both tactically and aesthetically.
Agreed. Not exactly justified (what war is?), but very good looking aesthetically. That and soviet invasion of Afghanistan too
@@Darth_Barnabythis one was quite justified tbh,I think you’re referring to the Iraq war (totally unjustified).Aesthetics wise I agree with you lol,one of my favorite ones
I think you're confusing Desert Storm and the Invasion of Irag of 2003.
@@apollo5175 No, I'm not. I know the difference between those two wars. I like the Gulf War more than the Iraq War.
No one ever did it better
Think about it the gulf war is farther in the past than the Vietnam war was to the start of the gulf war. Time does fly.
Seeing footage of triumphant troops in 91’ is so odd considering you know what’s coming barely 10 years later and how bad it all goes.
When the oils speak Arabian, the air must speak American and if the air speak American, the trees must speak Vietnamese and...
If the trees speak Vietnamese, then the reefs must speak Chinese 😂

peace....?
My grand dad was in the war in 1990-1991
Unbridled military complex vs. old-ass Soviet equipment
Old? The main tank the Iraqis were using was the T-72. This is also the main tank being used by Russia in Ukraine today. The tank might be old today, but it was still a capable and standard battle tank in 1991. The Iraqis also used the Mirage F1, which was still in production at that time. Even if you want to argue that the MiG-21 was outdated by 1991, the American counterpart, the F-4, was used by the US in that war.
YIPEE WE DELIVED SOME FREEDOM!

Coming soon in COD BLACK OPS 6 !!!! 💥💥💥
The military dominance of the US at this time was truly unprecedented. The USSR was crumbling and on the brink of collapse, China had not yet risen to prominence, Japan's military was still regulated to be a purely defensive force, and Europe no longer had any true superpowers. The US was not only in a class of its own, it didn't even have "near-peer adversaries" as it does today. I doubt anyone alive today will live to see another nation rise to this level of power and hegemony.
He was definitely right about that, It was like the opposite to Vietnam

Your dad?! You must be really young.
Ve por pañales bro
i was there. serving my country. wasn't a cake walk. Lost friends, defended the US. And they expect me to defend man buns and pusy hats? No, good luck to you all!
Thanks for your service
From a non-american
May the Grace of god guide you to greatness
You deserve it.
Your service is appreciated by true Americans. Unfortunately, the war still rages on here and abroad. Keep fighting the good fight brother.
Queers existed back then and now lmao
Imagine becoming equivalent to college protestor in terms of your opinion of the US military bc there's ppl with manbuns and a womens march with pussy hats happened 😂
It's too bad you didn't line up footage changes to the song..

Definitely the better bush idk how his son turned into that
This aggression will not stand man
I have no idea how an actual war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact would have unfolded ... and the Gulf War is in no way a direct comparison, since it was top tier NATO forces vs second, or even third tier forces with Soviet export level equipment ... but at least it gives us a hint!
The US would've won on logistics alone. If you ever get the chance look up how soviet and now russian munitions are stored. Its a terrible system and it takes so much time to unpackage everything and load things.
Wasn't the Soviet battle plan to use tactical nuclear and chemical weapons from h-hour on?
@@mathiasbartl903 It depends. They had more than one plan.
@@mathiasbartl903 Everything goes wild when you start throwing nuclear weapons into the mix. I think the Soviets would rather use their nuclear weapons on mainland US than to use them tactically but I could be wrong I dont know Soviet doctrines.
My Grampa and gramma was in this war
Still makes me laugh that people think the Gulf War ended after Desert Storm and we’ve moved on now. 🇺🇸😂🇺🇸 ~Operation Desert Storm Veteran 🤣
Bro can you do the same just change the don't to Makarena
91 was a war for oil.. 2003 was Jr Bush to get revenge for his ego and finishing what Daddy did not finish
Lmao Israeli propaganda did a number on you. Oil lmaooo bet you’ve never even heard of the “greater Israel project” all of Americas wars in the Middle East were for Israel.
It was for Izsreal. Golem
Heh it did ended up being another Vietnam
Wrong war. This is the 1st Gulf War. It ended in 100 hours

Say what you will about war, the one positive is the shear innovation it brings to the world
