What unit? what country? what was your military occupational specialty?
Me...I was with the 1st Cav Division/// 1st"Iron horse brigade"///2-8 cav "Mustang" Battalion/// /Delta-co/ "Death Dealers" 2nd platoon- My call sign was "White 2" I operated as a gunner and limited TC on a M1A1. My big boy was called DOA "Dead on Arrival" My tank looked funny because we welded a sheet of tungstin steal to the front because we had not transitioned to the M1A1 with DU armour and were nervous about that. I was also the plow Victor.
I fought to the east of of "phase line 73 easting" now called the battle of 73 easting under a tasking order to another unit and then was also involved in the battle of wadi al batin to my east on another tasking order after Division Arty blew its wad. That was a recon in force that turned into a fight.
I then proceeded under another "outside of main unit tasking order" around to the Basra to Baghdad Highway with small fights on the way. I then sat outside of Basra while at times running up 20 miles north west of Basra conducting observation missions. I watched the Repubican Gaurd roll into Basra and kill thousands of shia after the cease fire.
I have engaged and destoyed approxmatiy 25+ active combat AFV mainly 14 MTLB and a few BMP-2, a couple T-62, maybe 4 Type-59 and 2 or 3 T-72. I could not tell you how many non-active or unoccupied AFV I had engaged.
You need to be very careful before calling someone out for no reason. My friends and leaders who I fought with some are now field Grade officers and such ,I get much info from them.
