TIL during the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein built a defensive line filled with trenches and tunnels, hoping to engage the coalition in World War 1-style trench warfare. Instead, the US forces just charged with modified bullzdozers and simply plowed through the Iraqi trenches, burying many alive

I was there, and it was brutal. A lot of the Iraqi tanks were actually destroyed by Bradley IFV's and their cannons - they were moving forward so fast, and the Iraqi tanks were such shit that the scouts got a lot of kills. Turrets popping off just like you see in the Ukraine videos. We didn't lose a single enemy tank to enemy tank fire, only to mines and friendly fire. Watching the 6th French Light Cavalry and the 3rd ACR fuck up the Republican Guard was like watching a professional MMA player beat up an angry toddler.
