I met him on a flight from Syracuse to Washington. We spoke for almost 30 minutes. When I told him I was former Navy he spoke in great detail about prior Navy accomplishments. I was impressed. He was super down to earth. Stormin Norman.
The press conferences he did in the 1st gulf war were so impressive, fantastic, awe inspiring. Truly on of the most impressive Americans since WW2. I never got to serve under the man but he was the kind of man for whom you would run through brick walls.
My younger brother and a couple friends of mine said that General Swartzkopf and General Powell visited the troops in Desert Storm on a holiday (I can't remember if it was Thanksgiving or Christmas) and had a holiday meal that was being served. General Swartzkoph was a great General
In March of 1978, I arrived at Ft Lewis Wa to report for active duty and was assigned to HHC 2nd Bn 39th Infantry, 1st Brigade, 9th Infantry Division. My time serving at Ft Lewis was a combination of good times and some difficulties here and there, etc. I met some fine soldiers, both officers and enlisted as well. But the most memorable moment was I had the PRIVILEGE of serving in the 1st Bgde......My Bgde Cmndr was yours truly, then COL. Norman H Schwarzkopf. In fact, we, the officers, NCO'S, and the enlisted of the 1st Bgde witnessed the promotion of COL. Schwarzkopf to Brigadier General. It was WELL DESERVED!!....Gen. Schwarzkopf was well liked and RESPECTED by both his peers and his subordinates.....He was a fine LEADER and a GOOD MAN...R.I.P
Messages and effect of schwarzkoph to make us strong and also flexible, remains effecting. I tell schwarzkoph strong message forward to finland mercyful soldiers. Grretings from Finland to Mercyful warriors of America
I'm now reading his autobiography. He is indeed a brave US soldier, leader and best story teller in the world. I really admire him though I'm a Papua New Guinean.
He was an officer that black soldiers under his command believe in him because of his reputation that he treated all soldiers the same, whatever color they are.
This man was a true born leader. I had the ultimate respect for him. I was hoping he would have ran for president. Rest Well in God's Arms Sir. Thanking you and your family for your service. Job Well Done.

Our politics are so anti-military that to achieve the top jobs you have to be a sensitive, left wing type wussie focused on political correctness rather than war skills, or the Senate will not accept you. Competence and leadership ability need not apply. This is going to cost us dearly in the future.
Education is the crux. But we have the bible belt un-educated remains of the industrial age. Praying about god, believing instead of thinking. How the heck are you going to compare with Chinese folks that know integral calculus, complex music, and electrical engineering by the age of 5 ?
How many stars ? Peacefull man, smart, a product of a great country. As a Canadian, these men can take us into battle and we won't get a scatch. Or die having been well guided.
Australia needs norm to come here on a holiday and run our country! He could do a better job on holidays here than our leaders and system do day to day , it's a joke .
Remembered always as the General who gave the American Military it's pride back and included all it' military in the welcome back victory parade in NYC. A long overdue for certain appointment as a 5 star and receiptant of a special honor for his DUTY- HONOR- COUNTRY service to us all.
Not odd at all if you know anything about the man. He is an extraordinary leader and chooses to wear the BDU because he identifies it with the common soldier.
Can you feel the difference in leadership since Obama has took office. Our country lost it's moral direction. I can't wait till this Presidents gone. We need leaders like Schwartzkopf.
I'm now reading his autobiography. He is indeed a brave US soldier, leader and best story teller in the world. I really admire him though I'm a Papua New Guinean.
I have no Idea what your talking about. Obama has no Idea what leadership is or means. We need a General with honor and Integrity to lead this country. I also served under General Norman Schwarzkopf.I would hope that we don't get another failed President.
Schwartzkopf was an Obama fan and they loved to disagree. We do not want war all over. Obama was a brain. Now, Trump is going to show you what you voted for. What is moral to you ? poverty, no schools, the billionaires selling patriotism, the free market that abandoned all the US workers and showed you what they were a bout. You are being robed. Yes conservatives, but now you need a new party, not the republicans. Some party that can fight the Democrats, without selling the south short.
West Point, when it was great. This was before the Clinton/Obama era of PC garbage infested the institution. Bush was status quo. West Point is VERY SICK today as are all the other service academies. I hope Trump can fix this problem. It's a tall order. It's much easier to screw something up, than to fix something.
I met him on a flight from Syracuse to Washington. We spoke for almost 30 minutes. When I told him I was former Navy he spoke in great detail about prior Navy accomplishments. I was impressed. He was super down to earth. Stormin Norman.
I'm not an American but this General is still a great source of inspiration to me. The world needs more men like him.
He needs more men and ladies. We need respect and separate land air sea.
He was an incredible man to listen to. I have so much respect for him
The press conferences he did in the 1st gulf war were so impressive, fantastic, awe inspiring. Truly on of the most impressive Americans since WW2. I never got to serve under the man but he was the kind of man for whom you would run through brick walls.
RIP General Schwarzkopf, a true hero.
A truly good officer who cared for his men and his country.
I DON'T THINK THAT ANYONE CAN MAKE A GREATER COMPLIMENT
Once in a life time hero!
One of the greatest his book should be required reading for ALL military personnel. God bless him.
The U S A was in great shape knowing this hero was in charge.
He was the best!!
RIP General!
Thank you sir for your service they'll never be another one like you
God Rest His Soul
My younger brother and a couple friends of mine said that General Swartzkopf and General Powell visited the troops in Desert Storm on a holiday (I can't remember if it was Thanksgiving or Christmas) and had a holiday meal that was being served.
General Swartzkoph was a great General
His press conferences during Desert Storm were great, what a speaker.He was taken too soon. RIP General.

A great general indeed. GOD BLESS
From this retired marine I say respectfully to the general thank you 🙏 sir for your service sir rest in peace sir
How did the military go from the heights of Schwartzkopf down to the depths of Milley in the past 30 years?
R.I.P. General Schwartzkopf.
I remember him very clearly!
Messages and effect of schwarzkoph to make us strong and also flexible, remains effecting. I tell schwarzkoph strong message forward to finland mercyful soldiers. Grretings from Finland to Mercyful warriors of America
One of the very best
Rest In Peace general. Men of your kind are not around anymore.
my daughter is now a plebe in WP and praying that she too can endure the training and become a part of the Long Gray lines
I'm now reading his autobiography. He is indeed a brave US soldier, leader and best story teller in the world. I really admire him though I'm a Papua New Guinean.
A True American Hero
True American Heroes? Wrong! He is The Real Therorist!
Go to hell General!!
@101327 , he is THE REAL BIG THERORIST!
@@janisedhiwibowos.h.8639 🇺🇸💪🇺🇸💪
@@ariesgarva.5210 , US THE REAL BIG THERORIST!
The history we teach was made by those we taught.
Let's hope Norm Can't see what's become of his beloved Army.
When the General talks, you listen ...you listen real good, now
Need someone like Norman back desperately! Our military is teaching woke ******
Norman would be disgusted with what he would see
Boyyy, could Norman ever inspire the troops ...any crowd/audience as well 🗣👍
H Norman = badass
If anyone deserves a 5th star it's "STORMY NORMAN" and may he continue to REST IN PEACE
Stormin Norman
RIP GENERAL AND THANK YOU🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Could have been a president. Best commander since ww2
He was truly allergic to Class As! That’s a reason to love him alone.
a true american soldier i served under him in the gulf war
... as did I, 3rd pt, 25th Inf Div! Good times!!!!
The Last great American General !!!!!!
I Bet He Played in All 4 Army vs Navy Football Games. May He R.I.P.
He was an officer that black soldiers under his command believe in him because of his reputation that he treated all soldiers the same, whatever color they are.
A true hero!
this was to have been his last visit before passing away
Ohh so sorry Sir I just saw this video....I interest too USA Army . You are grrat Gen.Norman is a true hero, I love you !
Fue el verdadero líder , de la coalición ,un gran General todo terreno ,un saludo desde Chile de un ex Army.
He would have made a formidable President.
This man was a true born leader. I had the ultimate respect for him. I was hoping he would have ran for president. Rest Well in God's Arms Sir. Thanking you and your family for your service. Job Well Done.
General in the US/Caporal d'Honneur in the FFL.

todd justman . es bueno su video .y el honor para un gran general..heroe estado unidense..saludos de un pequño ex militar nicaraguense. mi respeto y admiracion por ese gran militar .. dios le tenga... ..vivan los estados unidos...
General Schwarzkopf was a combat general in the mold of men like George Patton, Lucian Truscott, and Creighton Abrams. Damn few left.
Not to mention Bill Slim, Monty, Bernard Fergusson, A Farrar-Hockley, Redvers Buller, shit I could go on all night!
There dormant in most men. Some so decayed maybe no realistic hope of recovery. But always dormant and a doormat. Waiting.
Our politics are so anti-military that to achieve the top jobs you have to be a sensitive, left wing type wussie focused on political correctness rather than war skills, or the Senate will not accept you. Competence and leadership ability need not apply. This is going to cost us dearly in the future.
Now the Pentagon and armed forces ranks are crammed with MBAs getting their tickets punched for a comfortable retirement.
Gen Schwartzkopfs best dress man
The best
Job well done.
Salute
He was the John Wayne of the US Army. They don't "make" them like this anymore, brilliant military tactician. RIP.
The best of. Best ho
Rest in peace.
The driver in the jeep: "Don'tfuckitupdon;tfuckitup"
If you're a soldier standing in formation you sometimes have a similar thought: "don't pass out...don't pass out..."
LA LEYENDA DE LA TORMENTA DEL DESIERTO .. QED.SALUDOS DESDE CHILE.,ME UBIESE GUSTADO ESTAR EN LOS SEAL ,RANGERS, O LOS DELTA .
Wouldn’t you use ser since being a Seal, Ranger, or Delta operator is a job/profession, not a place.
Our country is not like it used to be
Education is the crux. But we have the bible belt un-educated remains of the industrial age. Praying about god, believing instead of thinking. How the heck are you going to compare with Chinese folks that know integral calculus, complex music, and electrical engineering by the age of 5 ?
Met him once - had the handshake as if you had hand had been slammed in a truck door...
Command 800,000 plus soldiers the responsibility is very heavy. Miss him.
👍👍👍

A,SOLDIER'S GENERAL
1.FIGHT HARD MENIACAL
2. WORK HARD HONESTLY
3. PLAY HARDER WHEN THE FIGHTING AND WORK ARE OVER. DIDDYBOPER

What the fuck happened to this country. We are blind and hold little faith worst of all we stopped being proud of who we are.
I d say
+Tiffany Marie My faith in this country has never wavered - not once!!!!!!!!!!

Where do you think the Schwarzkopf family came from?
also gen. terry allen !!
Ha Ha. Were did they find that old jeep?
no Class Bs for the General. desert BDUs will suffice.
It helps to be tall
Odd that he is not in Class As.
Not odd at all if you know anything about the man. He is an extraordinary leader and chooses to wear the BDU because he identifies it with the common soldier.

Great legacy just look at the MIDDLE EAST NOW.. even Hitler would be ashamed and blushing..😨
❤🇱🇷
He sure was a great general. But he was some big pile of shit to his subordinates. Treated them just horrible.

In some circles it's not polite to speak of the dead who may have watched the action in a bunker on screens.
