Description
Mr. Snell provides his insight into the reasons for Canadian sailors going to the Persian Gulf in support of the UN resolution.
Transcription
The geopolitical aspect of the Persian Gulf conflict, you’d need twenty days, if not more, of continuous discussion on it. In essence we were there to support a UN resolution to support our NATO allies but one could get into a huge discussion as to what actually led to Iraq invading Kuwait and Kuwait asking for help. I like to think of it as we went there to help a smaller country who was being bullied by a bigger country.
