Abstract: The article analyzes the 1991 Gulf War under a strategic view. Three explanations are shown as the major reason for the US victory in this conflict. The conclusion disproves that the aftermath of the revolution in military affairs turned obsolete the less technological armed forces. Traditional aspects of warfare and downgraded hardware have been pretty effective. The paper makes an unorthodox appraisal of the US military capability currently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
