I know who General Norman Schwarzkopf is, although I have not read his book "It Doesn't Take a Hero." How will 'Stormin' Norman' be remembered? As a successful general, the liberator of Kuwait, and also for putting into effect the strategem that Sun Zi (Sun Tzu) wrote about centuries ago in "The Art of War" in the 20th century. Maybe Schwarzkopf will also be remembered for his quotes too. "Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy."

Stormin Norman was the man who made modern warfare look like a video game!
He was as a modern day General Patton that said he would kick Sedams *** out of the gulf, and in exactly 100 hours from the start he had done just that without hardly a loss of any allied lives!
Gen. Schwarzkopf came across as a hero of the gulf war.

Stormin' Norman. I think that's the problem with this war, there is no one to get behind like that.

He was a good commander that understood how to get the job done with minimal casualties to his own troops.
