Twenty-eight years ago, we ejected Iraqi forces from our ally, Kuwait. Many Iraqi units fought bravely and tenaciously, but many others surrendered almost immediately because we had severely disrupted their command, control and logistics chain. Some units hadn't eaten in days and had little in the way of food. We had destroyed their will to fight and surrendered en mass.
As an old soldier, I hope those guys made it, and enjoyed a pleasant, productive, and peaceful life.

Wasn't that about 28 years ago, not 19?
Yeah, you're right that was 28 years ago. My bad. It's fixed.
