Desert Storm. The Operation after Desert Shield. The first Gulf War 90 - 91 if I am right.
I don't know what an avionics specialist exactly does, but I have a lot of respect for everyone who served. Thank you for letting me know.

It is very important to be educated. Here one says: "Education is the remedy for ignorance"

I am very glad to hear that.

One never told me many details. But as I know he was in he french army for a short period, and was emprisonned when the Germans occupied France. After that he was sent to poland where he was forced to work.
It was when the war was already over, when he came back, and never told much to my family. So they couldn't give many details either. I really regret I didn't know him.

And to be honest, I probably would have traveled to Britain and helped them fight if I were not already in the U.S. military. If I were in the U.S. military, I would push for an exchange spot. That kind of thing really rubs me the wrong way. It makes me want to fight the belligerents.

The main problem is that we showed up rather late for both wars, particularly in WW2 which was exponentially worse. We should have mobilized while the French army and British expeditionary forces were withdrawing from Dunkirk. Providing food and arms to Britain was nice but not really enough. Consider that while the Germans bombed the hell out of London, the U.S. still did not declare war. So it is rather callous to claim we saved them. We came only when we were forced by the axis.
