    General Norman Schwarzkopf was a great general and freakishly smart man (IQ 170). Seems to have been quite a character -- liked to perform magic tricks.

      That actually wasn't his decision to make. Anyway, the rationale for not going all the way later proved to be correct.

          They didn't go all the way since it would likely lead to a messy urban guerrilla war situation that could last for many years. That is exactly what happened when they go all the way in the next war.

            I don't want to detract from this thread, I admired the man.
            Maybe a new thread about his is in order,or maybe a discussion in PMs?

    The American people no longer have the stomach to keep "on going."

    That being said, The Bear was one of the greatest. Had he had any real interest, he could have been president.

    One of the last true warriors is gone. If Valhalla exists, Odin has issues.

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

    I was disappointed when he retired - I couldn't believe it.

    Now this...

    I hate war, but if you have to have it, then I liked his style of kick butt and take names.

    Rest in Peace, Soldier.
