What country did Iran invade in 1990?
Iran invaded no country in 1990. Iraq invaded Kuwait in this year, but Iran and Iraq are two entirely different countries.
Post War effects of troops returning from Desert Storm?
Keep in mind, the whole campaign lasted less than two months, that's a little bit longer than a National Guard extended training exercise held at Fort Irwin (NTC) California during the cold war days. So post war effects were at a minimum; as an added incentive, the Iraqi's did more surrendering than they did fighting, so that should've lessened any US "battle fatigue cases" even more.
US troops may have experienced "some" DU (Depleted Uranium) exposure, as this was a new filler for service rounds expended during the campaign. Otherwise, the returning US Troops were greeted with a NATION wide parade upon their return home to the USA!
What are 5 interesting and facts about Iraq?
1-Iraqi people buy a lot of 24 carat gold(I saw poor people who didnt even have a home and they were wearing gold)
2-There is a lot of Imams that are buried in Iraq and a lot of person visit them from all over the world
I will think about some more things later
Did anyone with marine wing support squadron 273 in al khanjar get gulf war syndrome?
from LZ83!
I was a medic with the Air Force Aeromedical Evacuation & Mobile Aeromedical Staging Facility (MASF) that was with the SeaBees approximately 3 clicks to the east. We were next to the heavy art/arms storage area.
I've been struggling with "Desert Storm disease" for over 18 years now - much to the chagrin of the VA who doesn't believe us.

Today (18 Sep 09), I had an appointment for the usual "so what's the matter with you" debacle and, by accident, I was seen by a doctor who not only BELIEVES Gulf War Syndrome, but does his best to treat it and give us some relief! I've never felt hope like this since returning stateside in 1991.
There are new studies out that are really pointing toward exposure to the nerve agent Sarin. From the Army Times May 26, 1007 - http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003723056_gulfwar26.html:
The debate over the issue goes back 16 years to when U.S. forces blew up the chemical-munitions dump in Khamisiyah, releasing a plume of sarin gas to which thousands of U.S. troops were exposed, something the Pentagon denied until 1997.
Al Khanjar was under this plume for 2 days: 10 Mar 91 and 11 Mar 91.
Report to the nearest VA Medical Facility for evaluation, to be added to the registry, and to get treatment if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- Chronic Fatigue
- Signs and symptoms involving skin (including skin rashes and unusual hair loss)
- Headache
- Muscle pain
- Neurologic signs or symptoms (nervous system disorders which could manifest themselves in numbness in one's arm, for instance)
- Neuropsychological signs or symptoms (including memory loss)
- Signs or symptoms involving upper or lower respiratory system
- Sleep disturbances
- Gastrointestinal signs or symptoms (including recurrent diarrhea and constipation)
- Cardiovascular signs or symptoms
- Menstrual disorder
If you are having severe problems, you may be entitled to a disability rating and compensation. DO NOT TAKE "NO" FOR AN ANSWER! Keep fighting until you get through to a care provider that will assist you!
May God bless you and all the Marines and Navy personnel we were with!

I think it was Saddam Hussein.
A military mission to accomplish a specific task.
Examples:
1. Operation Desert Storm (1991)-objective (mission) remove Iraqi forces from Kuwait.
2. Operation Enduring Freedom (2001-)-objective (mission) capture or eliminate Osama B. L. and/or his followers.
3. Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003)-objective (mission) remove Saddam Hussian from power.
The ramifications of any "profit making enterprise" is having the region of operations become so dangerous or unstable that not only are profits endangered, but leaving the area with THOSE profits in hand become impossible. Another words, for a capitalistic venture; if a company makes money, then cuts and runs before unstability returns, then they have done well.
If they make capital, but don't get out while the "gettings good", then they lose what they made. True with anything, anywhere...timing. Other than with that region, an economy might collapse while working elsewhere...there goes the profit margin. Timing!
Is it good to have high or low rankings?
High rankings show how impressive you are or how influencial you can be. Antoinette A
How many men served during the Tonkin Gulf war?
You're probably asking, how many men fought in the Tonkin Gulf sea battle (officially called the Tonkin Gulf Incident).
The first naval engagement, which was an actual sea fight, involved probably 300 men aboard the US destroyer USS Maddox, as well as possibly a dozen or less US Naval airmen flying F8 Crusaders which also attacked the North Viet Navy torpedo boats. The North Viet Navy P4 torpedo boats had maybe less than a dozen North Vietnamese Sailors aboard the 3 or 4 boats...so less than 50 men.
Altogether, probably less than 500 men fought in the 02 August 1964 sea engagement (1st Tonkin Gulf Incident).
The second incident, involved the two destroyers USS Turner Joy & USS Maddox. There quite possibly being no enemy present (just radar ghosts), only the two destroyer crews would have been directly involved...being roughly 600 men or so.
Why do people get confused between Iraq and Iran?
One, they are in the same geographical area and each start with the letter "I".
Two, poor knowledge of geography
