Other Comments:

Better to have racehorces to rein back rather than donkeys you have to whip.
Gen Moshe Dyan to Prime Minister Ben Gurion on why his paratroopers went beyond their objective on their own initiative (the East bank of the Suez Canal), and instead captured part of Egypt home terriitory and a large military airfield far beyond the Sinai where the war was taking place thus causing a political difficulty for the Knesset and PM.

When the situation looks doubtful it is usually best to attack.

Gulf War/Liberation and Defense of Kuwait/Operation Desert Storm

Description
On January 16, 1991, President George H. W. Bush announced the start of what would be called Operation Desert Storm—a military operation to expel occupying Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which Iraq had invaded and annexed months earlier. For weeks, a U.S.-led coalition of two dozen nations had positioned more than 900,000 troops in the region, most stationed on the Saudi-Iraq border. A U.N.-declared deadline for withdrawal passed on January 15, with no action from Iraq, so coalition forces began a five-week bombardment of Iraqi command and control targets from air and sea. Despite widespread fears that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein might order the use of chemical weapons, a ground invasion followed in February. Coalition forces swiftly drove Iraq from Kuwait, advancing into Iraq, and reaching a cease-fire within 100 hours—controversially leaving Saddam Hussein in power. While coalition casualties were in the hundreds, Iraqi losses numbered in the tens of thousands.
