I want to know the answer to the following question:
Prior to the Persian Gulf War, where and when was the last major American military conflict?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Iraqi forces were battle-hardened after 8 years of war with Iran, and they were well equipped with late model Soviet tanks and jet fighters, but the antiaircraft weapons were crippled; in comparison, the US had no large-scale combat experience since its withdrawal from Vietnam nearly 20 years earlier, and major changes in US doctrine, equipment and technology since then had never been tested under fire.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
