Which means absolutely nothing if you cannot stop the airplane from dropping bombs on your critical logistics nodes. Those battle-hardened soldiers weren't so hard after a few days without water rations, without fuel in their tanks. In modern maneuver warfare between nation states "toughness" means far less than even a slight technological advantage.

Which was only possible thanks to the superiority of American weapons system's which were better versions of old weapons. Thank you for reinforcing my point. Also the major coalition action was over after 3 days of fighting, that wasn't long enough for any Iraqi divisions to run out of supplies.
