Now there was a man that would have been a great Secretary of State. "Do it our way or we'll kick your...." RIP Stormin' Norman.

I just read it myself. A nephew of mine was his adjudant during the first Gulf war. He had nothing but admiration for him, and I trust the kids judgement. We loose another great man.....

That is sad news - the country lost a Patriot today if this is true.

Godspeed General, you are a true patriot. RIP.

I would have been proud to serve in his command.

Nothing on the evening news. May be an indication of how the media felt about him. I suspect they had some philosophcal differences.

Apart from Lara Logan, most reporters don't identify much with soldiers.

 

[sheepdawg]

Rescued his men from a minefield in Viet Nam. Not only have we lost a patriot we've lost a hero also.

RIP General.

The timeline on most websites indicates the news broke an hour or less ago. Not much warning for the evening news even here on Pacific time.

Added:

They just put it out on the local evening news.

RIP stormin norman

Just heard of the passing of General Norman Schwarzkopf.

May god bless and receive his soul.

 

[Erich]

Oh no! Rest in peace.

 

[BruceHMX]

A wonderful man whom I met several times. I hope the first person he met on his journey was one of his West Point classmates from Vietnam. RIP Sir.

 

[StatesRightist]

RIP General, you earned it.

 

[pawncop]

We have lost a true leader. My condolences to the family and friends. May he rest in peace.

 

[Black_Sheep]

R.I.P. General, you were a man among men...

 

[james56]

RIP Stormen !! It was a pleasure serving with you in 1980-1983 at Mainz, and B/K, FRG

 

[kozmic]

I was always riveted to the TV when the General spoke. He gave me a sense of reassurance and pride in America.

 

[DeathGrip]

My total respect. RIP Sir.

 

[steamloco76]

A genuine true American and Patriot. May there be more like him to step up and fill his shoes. God Bless His Soul.

My favorite expression from the General: "Bovine Scatology."

 

[gaf]

He was a great person.

I had the priviledge to be part of a security detail at an event where he was the keynote speaker.

There was a picture session where people paid big dollars for the photos posing with the General.

When the session was over, the General insisted that the photographer take a photo with each of his security detail and that they be provided to us free of cost.

The General spent a lot of time talking "Police". He talked of his father's New Jersey State Police activity, especially the time during the Lindburgh baby kidnapping.

He will be missed.

A Great Man who will be missed. I always wished that he would have wanted to run for President.

 

[Bent Barrel]

R.I.P., General----I, too thought he would have been a great President.

 

[Gunslinger808]

Yeah, he was a good one.
Just as Patton was, so was he.
Carry on the fight till the enemy is obliterated.
Also was given the Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor, a truly rare achievement for someone outside the Foreign Legion.

Viva la morte, viva la guerre, viva sacre mercenaire
