This article is little more than a play-by-play recap of a made for TV Desert Storm doc which, so far as I can tell, won no awards and shows no SIGCOV. If not TNT'd, it may be a candidate for merging into an article about Desert Storm or films related to same. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 03:46, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
