Both Desert Storm & Spanish-American War were short in duration; 45 days & 6 months respectively. 3. Both had similar casualties; Storm approximately 200, Spanish-American War approximately 385 dead. 4. Both Storm & Spanish/American War veterans received MASSIVE parades of victory upon their return home. 5. Both had singular heros: Storm-GEN Schwarzkopf; Spanish/American War-ADM Dewey. 6.
