RIP Stormin Norman

[jeepasaurusrex]

Just heard the news that General Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. has passed away at the age of 78. He was one one the last Generals that said what he meant and didnt care who liked or disliked it. I had the honor of meeting him a couple of times while I was on active duty. Few people know his father was the lead investigator for the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh's baby.

I read his auto-biography.  Good read and would recommend it to others.  RIP

When I was sitting in KSA during Desert Shield/Storm, we were on open ended orders.  We got to Saudi on the 25th of Aug, so we were some of the first boots on the ground.  So for a month or so we were kind of wondering when our rotation date would be.  Any word on rotation date?  Nope.  Then all the sudden we heard about this Marine General who was in charge saying there would be no rotation, the word was duration.  WTF!!  Who the heck is this guy!  General Schwarzkopf!  We all grew to love him, what a leader, what a great man.  RIP General.

Uh, he wasn't a Marine.  He was an army general...

A great man, rip.  He saved so many Americans lives with his leadership.

   Yes, Army, my apologizes!  What do you expect from a Zoomie!!

He has a fake attack hitting the middle, while the 24th swoops around to the west. The devil's days are numbered!

My Dad occasionally had dealings with him when the general was at Ft Lewis.  He always spoke well of his encounters with him.  I was a year ahead of his daughter in high school, I never really knew her but I had a bunch of friends who were friends with her.  Prayers to their family.  He was a true American patriot, always loved hearing his interviews
