What a great man and great leader. I always liked him. I think just about everyone did.
“I think just about everyone did.”
My sister wrote me while I served in the Persian Gulf War (Ops Desert Shield and Desert Storm).
She wrote that my late mother, who was aged 66, had tremendous “crush” on the General.
I can hear Ma now in her thick Boston accent: “He’s so handsome and smart.”

Prayers will be lifted for you tonight General. RIP and God Bless You and Your Family.

The enemy surely didn’t.
RIP General. You’ve earned it.
My fondest memory of Gen. Schwarzkopf was during the first Gulf war. He was giving a briefing to the media on the operation where they used stealth assets and misdirection to flank the Iraqis and kick their arses handily.
When he was describing the operation he had a noticeable gleam in his eye and a very wry smile on his face. He was having a blast showing off what his troops could do. I'll never forget it.
In pace requiescat General.
