Tonight on Gulf War Side Effects, Kevin Simon, Wade Wranard, Hector Soto, and Paul take a hard look back at Operation Desert Storm and ask an important question:

What mistakes were made, and what lessons did the military learn from them?

Drawing from their own firsthand experiences, the panel discusses the logistical challenges, environmental disasters, friendly fire incidents, chemical alarms, MOPP gear, combat operations, and the long-term impact many Gulf War veterans still live with today. This isn't about criticizing those who served—it's about learning from history so future generations can do better.
