WASHINGTON (AP) — Retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who topped an illustrious military career by commanding the U.S.-led international coalition that drove Saddam Hussein's forces out of Kuwait in 1991 but kept a low public profile in controversies over the second Gulf War against Iraq, died Thursday. He was 78.
Schwarzkopf died in Tampa, Fla., where he had lived in retirement, according to a U.S. official, who was not authorized to release the information publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Never heard of him before today.
Either you're being disingenuous or you are inexcusably ignorant of recent American history.
I fear we will lose George H.W., his commander in chief, soon as well.
I guess im "inexcusably ignorant of recent American history" :shrug:Either you're being disingenuous or you are inexcusably ignorant of recent American history.

Desert Storm/Desert Shield?!?
Hell I have the complete collection of trading cards, they made for that war.
It was when Iraq invaded Kuwait.
Sorry dont know many generals.
He was pretty well known for the success of the operation.
Happened in the 90's, decent guy he was, considering other people in the public eye.
On par with Colin Powell, in terms of manner and respect.

I'll give you a pass, you're likely a good deal younger than many here, including me.
True American right there.

This clearly identifies you as someone who should be shunned.If we do, we can bury them both in the same pit and save taxpayers some money. Extra graves cost $$.
