During the Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988, the US patrolled the Persian Gulf to ensure that oil tankers could still transit the waterways (referred to as the "tanker war"). On May 1987 an Iraqi jet launched an exocet missile at the USN frigate, USS Stark, killing 37 US sailors and nearly sinking the ship. The following year in 1988, the USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian airliner, killing all aboard.
During Operation Desert Storm from January 15, 1991 to about February 26, 1991 (approximately 45 days), the US ejected Iraqi forces from Kuwait. Approximately 146 US battle deaths were incurred during this campaign. Mission was accomplished.
During Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, US forces invaded Iraq to remove the Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussain from power. Mission was accomplished.
