We were quite aware of that at the 82nd, and we were expecting a hard fight from arrival. The rumors were that Saudi Arabia was next on Saddam's agenda. and main reason we sat on Green Ramp for four days after being called in was because they were debating a combat drop into Kuwait. Which would have been interesting for me if they did an immediate combat drop; being new to the Division, my 8th jump would have been a combat drop.
