미군이 주도하는 연합군이 쿠웨이트 영토로 침공한 이라크 군대를 쫓아낸 1991년 이라크 전쟁에서, 연합군이 악명 높은 사담 후세인 공군으로부터 제공권을 빼앗고 나자 즉각적으로 전투가 중단되었다.

Monday morning quarterback : (이미 일이 있고 후에) 뒤늦게 따따부따하는 사람 (뒷말하는 사람)

president who was convinced that such an action would have sent a bad message to the Arab
and would have splintered the Allied partnership.
당신네 뒷북치며 말만 하는 분들은 이해하기 힘들 수 있겠지만, 저는 그런 행동이 아랍권 국가에 안 좋은 메세지를 보낼 수 있고 연합군 동맹을 깰 수도 있다는 대통령의 말에 전적으로 동의했습니다.

bloodshed : 유혈사태

ex. Schwarzkopf reiterated that it was his mission to hurl back the invaders with a minimum of bloodshed but not,
he added in a caustic tone, "to splatter Saddam over the desert sands. That dictator's days are numbered,"
the general concluded, "but I expect his end is likely to come at the hands of his own people."
슈워츠코프 장군은 침략자들을 최소한의 희생을 쫓아내는 것이 그의 임무였지 "사막 모래에 사담의 피를 튀게 하는 것이 아니었다"고 신랄한 어조로 다시 말했다. "독재자의 시대는 갔지만 그 끝은 그 나라 사람들의 손에 의해 올 것임을 기대한다"는 말로 그는 이야기를 끝냈다.
