Veteran Barry Scheuermann describes his duties in the US military during Operation Desert Storm as a member of the 628th Transportation company. Scheuermann explains how they fueled tanks on the battlefield and comments on the biggest mistake of the Gulf War. The Gulf War lasted from August 2, 1990 to February 28, 1991, but became the code named Operation Desert Storm on January 17, 1991. It was waged by a U.N.-authorized Coalition against Iraq in response to Saddam Hussein's invasion and annexation of Kuwait. It's also known as the Persian Gulf War, First Gulf War, Gulf War I, Kuwait War, or the First Iraq War, but the term "Iraq War" now refers to the 2003 Iraq War.
