Gulf War

Iraq invaded Kuwait primarily because the Iraqis thought that Kuwait was stealing their oil. Iraq suspected Kuwait of using slant drilling and stealing 300,000 barrels of oil daily.

Nations didn't take chances with oil or anything else during the cold war which might risk a confrontation with the then USSR (Soviet Union). With the USSR dissolved in 1990 (the Berlin Wall came down in 1989) the US (and the UN) were free to make any demands they wanted to. When Hussain took Kuwait in 1990, that was an oil region. With no one to stop the US/UN (read Soviet Union) the US/UN was free to make those demands: "Withdraw from Kuwait...or else!" Desert Shield commenced in 1990 (military buildup to be used if and when necessary to eject Iraq from Kuwait). Desert Storm commenced on or about 15 January 1991 to formerly eject Iraq from Kuwait; this was sucessfully accomplished within approximately 45 days. DS was successfully concluded in February 1991.

The Country Saddam Hussein invaded was Kuwait for their resources and because Iraq thought that they would get more power , but the invasion just lead to another war .

Saddam did not really belong to a caste (perhaps dictator/leader?), but he did belong to the Sunni Muslims.

30 billion

Saudi Arabia paid the USA 39 billion to fight their war against Saddam.

The USA paid 60 billion to fight Saudi Arabia war.

If Reagan was president he would have told Saudia Arabia to go to hell. Fight you your war.

Yes

The standard issue sidearm of US forces during the time of Desert Storm was the semi-automatic Beretta M9 pistol. Semi automatic pistols have been the standard for US sidearms since 1911, although the .38 caliber revolvers continued to appear well into the Korean War, and there are some instances of them appearing in Vietnam, as well.

Some embassy security forces use a .357 revolver as their sidearm, but no revolver is service issue in any combat unit.

LA stands for Los Angeles

The only acting General killed in action against any foreign enermy was George Custer. No other Generals were ever killed figthing in action for the U.S. Other than in the Civil War.

Probably not, the US was the primary supplier of military forces to keep the Persian Gulf sea lanes open (was called the "Tanker Wars" by the press).

The answer to the question depends on whether you are talking about "Desert Storm" as in a weather-event (like a sandstorm or whirlwind) or as in the Operation that the United States named its fight during the Persian Gulf War.

1) Desert Storm as a weather event is exclusively called: 3asifat As-Sa7ra2 -OR- Aasifat As-Sahra' (عاصفة الصحراء).

2) Operation Desert Storm is usually called 3amliat 3asifat As-Sa7ra2 -OR- Amliyat Aasifat As-Sahra' (عملية عاصفة الصحراء). The War itself is typically called either 7arb Al-5alij Ath-thani -OR- Harb Al-Khalij Ath-thani (The Second Gulf War - حرب الخليج الثانية) or 7arb Ta7rir Kuwait -OR- Harb Tahrir Kuwait (The Kuwait Liberation War - حرب تحرير الكويت)

No, the war in Iraq was started when the US President and his advisers determined, against all evidence, that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction that were a danger to the US.

This was afterwards found to be incorrect.

Furthermore, as gays were explicitly banned from the United States Military in 2003, they could not have participated in the Iraq War unless they were closeted.

During the 1990s and the early years of the twenty-first century, despite the decline in the percent of workers who were unionized, nearly 16 million U.S. workers, between one-eighth and one-sixth of the labor force, belonged to labor unions.

I think that the First Navy Radioman to receive the Bronze Star was Preston Gaymon, from JCSE Macdill, AFB for services rendered in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He was given this award by Gen Norman Swartzskoff in 1991.
