Desert Storm trading cards!
Click on the card above to take a tour through the first Gulf War, AMERICA STYLE. I found three packs of these trading cards at a comic book shop in Waltham, Mass. See why Bush Sr. can proudly say, "Back in '91, we gotter done." My personal favorites include card #1, Commander in Chief (George Sr., looking dapper in a leather pilots coat), and card #71, Anti-Aircraft Chemical Gear ("Alright kids, remember there are three basic types of chemical weapons.").
For some reason, the current Iraq war hasn't yet made it into trading card form. Perhaps if it had, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now. You hear that Topps America?!
