Although not involved in GW1, I did visit some of the target areas in late '91 as part of a UN inspection team. Boy, you fliers did some damage! Baghdad, buildings collapsed like a pack of cards with little damage to those adjacent; Airfield H1 destroyed, even the gym was flattened. One of the base EOD lads explained that the stn cdr ordered evacuation when he realized there was no hope of recovery. No evidence of WMD though, there or any other place we 'inspected'; mind, some team members wouldn't have known one if they tripped over it.
