If you're thinking about Gulf War I it *was* warmer. That one was held in
June, instead of March.

My least-favorite memory of Gulf War was the Woods Battle that Wasn't--my
group marched into the woods, killed about five Trimarians, and continued
marching... we were halfway to Alabama before we realized that something
was wrong. Then we turned around and tried to find our way out through the
heat and humidity. I can recall sitting in camp afterwards, and hearing
heralds coming through asking everyone to check on their camp mates, to
make sure that nobody had been left in the woods. It was that bad.
