the Iraqi's Republican Guard were season soldiers who fought very hard and many died,
they just wasn't no match to the US technology and weaponry,
just because the US had extremely small casualties didn't mean the Iraq did fight hard

well, maybe they did fight well, I couldn't tell you either way(although I remmeber a group of them surrendering to a CNN crew, heh), but I was just pointing out that no way were they the 4th strongest army in the world in 1992. There was easily 10 countries with much better and more disciplined armies than IRAQ back then, and there are even more today.
