Here's one interesting video about him and his wit:

Thoughts on this?

He was a genius, and a true leader of men. RIP sir! You will be missed.

[germanico]

The world could use a couple more men like him.

Its a terrible loss. Men like him come but once in a generation.

[Aliblahba]

He stood no less in stature among other great men such as Eisenhower, Churchill, Jackson, ect. Men like him are few and far between in our generations.

Walters: If you could meet Saddam Hussein, what would you ask him, or say to him?

Schwarzkopf: Get out of town.



RIP General.

I was in 6th grade during the war, and I remember him being "The Man"......

Yeah I read a bit about his life, and he led a very interesting life, with a long and distinguished career.

I think I might take a look at his auto-biography.

America lost another great commander. RIP.

Before he took command of the American forces he made it clear to President Bush (the first one), and the Joint Chiefs that he would prosecute the war his way. With no interference or second guessing from anyone or he wouldn't do it.
