Why there is no mention about involvement of Italy in the conflict? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.48.73.118 (talk) 21:07, 29 November 2016

The site states "For 42 consecutive days and nights, the coalition forces subjected Iraq to the most intensive air bombardment in military history. The coalition flew over 100,000 sorties dropping 88,500 tons of bombs…" The data may be true, but the claim of "most intensive air bombardment in military history" is debatable and entirely subjective depending on what they are basing that claim on. Intensive means concentrated, but how are they determining that, by number/tonnage/area/sorties/time?

Until there is something to corroborate the claim, “the most” should either be changed to “one of the most” or “an” (with "in military history" removed). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.45.115.4 (talk) 09:53, 4 September 2017‎ (UTC)[reply]

For the coalition side it does not mention POW/MIA. Although the hot phase of their involvement was relatively brief the members of Bravo Two Zero (for example) were held for several weeks, and although the body of Captain Speicher was eventually recovered and despite not initially being designated so, for nine years he had MIA status. ~2026-11723-61 (talk) 04:20, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
