CUT IT OFF and KILL IT! ... Our strategy as described by General Colin Powell, to drive Iraq from its aggressive invasion of Kuwait. In under 100 hours of ground combat with an average drive of 60 miles a day, this strategy materialized. Commentary by General Powell, General Franks and others tells of the training, engagements and deployment of over 250,000 soldiers in 3 months, a feat that took over a year to accomplish during the Vietnam conflict. Hosted by retired Lt. General Tom Kelly, this documentary is an absorbing chronicle of the troop movements combining "The Big Five" of the Abrams tank, the Bradley fighting vehicle, Blackhawk and Apache helicopters and the Patriot missle system. The drive of "The Big Red 1", Marines and Army Airborne divisions, which took barely 1/10 of the time that was expected, routed Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard in the shortest ground war in recorded history.
