This episode we will examine the battle of Khafgi. It was Saddam Hussein's attempt to make America bleed. He had not been able to engage any American troops at all and therefore had few if any bargaining chips as the War had been mostly an air campaign to this point. His thought was to invade this tiny Saudi Arabian border town and force the Americans into a battle . Killing some and capturing some. It did not work that way.
In Fact, it served as a tactical blunder as it exposed just how weak the Iraqi military actually were on the ground. After the battle of Khafgi, the ground war would be sped up and the entire war brought to an end quickly as the Americans had figured out that the famous Iraqi million man army was mostly ill managed, ill equipped, and ill trained. We were now ready to press on to victory.
