I don't think enough people thinking about geopolitics in my generation actually read about the Gulf War. it's much deeper than this but the Wikipedia page is a surprisingly good summary.

It was a slaughter, overwhelming force, in and out in a month. I need you to let that sink in.

a month.

I don't hear much about it from people talking about US/NATO aggression.

thinking back on it too it was the first war i know of that was marketed like a cool action movie. there were toys and trading cards and tie-in books (i had the trading cards!) and there was a faceless enemy horde whose role was to get mowed down by the good guys with their cool high tech weapons. they showed like smart bomb nose camera highlights on the news.
