Where were you? I was up at State tutoring a HS student at his house to make a few bucks. War broke out and we spent an hour or so with his family that particular night watching in awe as it unfolded with reports and live video from the front - crazy, and at the time like nothing you had ever seen.
This article on the tank battle M1A1 Abrams brought it all back for me. Decent read - the military made it look easy to us arm chair observers, but it is was good training, execution, and technology and a lot of brave men. I can still see in my minds eye countless videos of the missiles coming in and destroying targets. "Stormin Norman" Schwarzkopf commanding - now deceased and buried at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Scud missiles that were the brunt of many a joke due to their lack of ability to hit their target.
