US warplanes taking off from the USS Abraham Lincoln are bombing Iraqi
military targets along the US-UK line of advance.

Hmmmmm...everyone ready for this? I remember the Gulf War, I was young and terrified the whole time, and I didn't even know anyone serving. Now I know quite a group of people in the forces, but it isn't so hard for me to deal with, it's good that I learned not to be so scared with age!

Marshall it was in the no fly zone and those targets were command and control positions.
