A good man and the last of America’s real generals. He was the real deal, not a Petraeus, or McChrystol type that would be just as happy working on a corporate board, or at some university.
And Stormin’ Norman ran America’s last war with things like battleships bombarding the enemy with 16 inch, F-4s flying SEAD, OV-10s instead of drones, artillery prep before attacks, B-52s carpet bombing with iron bombs three times a day, for weeks at a time,,, Daisy cutters being dropped over enemy concentrations “just because”. And oh yeah, it was the last war with Bob Hope showing up.
After Norman left, the pussies took over. Rest in peace sir.
General Swartzkoff is one of the few American Generals that can claim to have won a war. The list is short, Washington, Scott, Grant, Pershing, Ike, and McArthur. He clearly ranks with these men in our history.
