Not 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.

He did indeed! My uncle fought with/for him as a K-9 scout in WWII and always had the highest praise for Patton. He believed that had Patton been supported by Eisenhower, instead of wasting resources with Montgomery’s futile effort into Arnhem, the war would have been won prior to the horrific Battle of the Bulge.
