Desert Storm commander Norman Schwarzkopf has died at 78


How many soldiers are alive today because of his brilliant strategy to win that war in 100 hrs ?

We need more of him now and a POTUS who will let him run

That is OK Oss.  He was a good one indeed and deserves much recognition.

Definitely a great one, I had the pleasure of talking to him for a while when I worked at the airport.
I will remember that conversation for the rest of my days.

A great man and a great leader of men.

Many of us begged him to run for president.

Privately, he reportedly said he'd rather be tied over a cannon.

Smart guy too.
