Exactly, the shock and awe strategy used during the first gulf war involved a lot of video footage of high precision weaponry being used to hit all sorts of targets and long briefings by generals talking about how awesome they were. The F117 deployment to Iraq was big news and widely reported and the US Airforce basically couldn't shut up talking about just how awesome these things were.

Desert Storm, sure. 12 years later for Iraqi Freedom? Nope. We were in the sandbox low key to kickstart Saddam's farewell/get-rekt party and back at Holloman much quicker than most other air expeditionary squadrons.
