The true story of Desert Storm?

[polish_combat]

Hey,
in polish "Illustrated Military Magazine -Army" Mr. Rafał Jakubowski had published some series of articles about operation Desert Storm and his main thesis was that coalition forces have much more casualties then official government announced, their equipment were not so effective (from M1 Abrams tanks to F-16 Fighting Falcons), Saddam Husein armed forces had retreated from Kuwait before main coalition attack, and entire Desert Storm was only a good marketing operation etc. So I would like to ask you what do you think about Desert Storm? That was only a marketing show or maybe a example of great military victory?

You're reading junk history. The only modicum of fact that I'm aware of in what you just wrote was the incident known as the Highway of Death but that retreat was after the main ground assault and it pretty much dispells any disbelief in the "effectiveness" of our gear at the time.

The Allies lost. Everyone knows that.

Hey, I was also shocked when read such a articles and it was not my thesis but I think maybe my knowledge is incomplete so I put such a post.
