Are there any indications of what kind of opposition the UN (mostly
US) aerial forces will encounter over the Gulf region? Looking at the
two previous major wars the US has fought shows a disconcerting trend:
In Korea the kill ratio was approximately 10 to 1, but in Vietnam it
was 2 to 1. Since Air Superiority is vital for the success of the
ground troops this seems an important issue.
(Perhaps this post won't arrive at mosts sites until we know for
sure...)
