He proved that military leadership could take care of the troops and STILL get the mission completed, with minimal casualties and timeNot to start thread drift but you know who else did this very thing. George Patton. They called him "blood and guts" but it was the enemy's blood and guts left on the ground. His troops suffered the lowest casualty rate of all frontline American Armies in the WWII campaign, not despite his aggressiveness, but because of it. Like Patton, Schwartzkopf knew the value of a swift, strong offense.

..The second battle (of IA DRANG-1965)was fought by troops from the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) Airborne Brigade, under BG Du Quoc Dong, with LTC Ngo Quang Truong, chief of staff under Dong, in tactical command. Another U.S. officer, who would rise to the highest ranks, was an adviser to the Airborne at the battle: then-major H Norman Schwarzkopf Jr.. Schwarzkopf held Truong in the highest respect. [7]

RIP . One more patriot of the Constitution goes to his rest.
May the good Lord keep you safe in the palm of his hand.
He will be sorely missed in the near battles to come.

Absolute agreement re half-mast for hangnails !

RIP General...you were a fine man and a heck of a shooter. I had the pleasure of shooting sporting clays with the General in Tampa, FL in May 1995. Great guy!
