We lost another great American today...

Retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf dies (http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/1795095)

General Schwarzkopf ;One of the few great Generals of this era. It is not his fault that there was a political decision to clock out of Operation Desert Storm after 100 hrs of ground combat .
Favorite quote... In response to a reporter’s question about forgiveness towards the Iraqis prior to Desert Storm the General said “I believe that forgiving them is God’s function. Our job is simply to arrange the meeting.”

Yes a moment of glory, too bad his hand was stayed

One of the General's great quotes:
“It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.”
