    3rd worst: to be weighted down by the infinite number of badges of honor given by Kook Kent.

    Generals go to Heaven?

    Well what the heck, he did drum up a bunch of business for them.
    .
    To be fair, Desert Storm was pretty close to bloodless all things considered. I give Norm a lot of credit for that. (I’m sure he appreciates that.)
    .
    I think he and George (Vision Thing) Bush screwed up the after war tremendously when they had preactically the entire ‘of age’ male population kissing thier feet. They should have taken the time to feeed them, clothe them, train them and then set them back on Saddam.
    .
    Instead we blew in their collective ear and sent them on their way so that Saddam could take his embarrassment out on them. Oh, and we starved them and their children too, so guys that would have been eternally in our debt, all realized that they hated us too.

    I remember Desert Storm. I was working as an operator on the very-early-morning shift. We had a TV in the control-room and watched the CNN footage with amazement. That was a “good” war, it was against an aggressor that had taken over an innocent country, it was quick, it was clean, it was supported by the UN and we were all cheering for the U.S. troops. They should have kicked/killed Saddam back then, but didn’t, never understood why. Would have saved the world – and the U.S. – a lot of trouble…

    Rest in Peace, General Schwarzkopf!

    I would not want to have a general’s responsibility. This man turned down political ambitions, wiki says, – “In retirement, Schwarzkopf served as a military analyst for NBC, most recently for Operation Iraqi Freedom, along with promoting prostate cancer awareness, a disease with which he was diagnosed in 1993, and for which he was successfully treated. Schwarzkopf donated most of his time to multiple charities, and community activities. He sat on the board for Remington, and several other high-profile corporations.” The last bothered me a bit. I would be sad to think he became a lobbyist, however, he served his nation and imperfect as all mankind is, he was better than most.
    Respectfully,
    C.

    General Schwarzkopf wanted to chase Saddam right back to Baghdad, but he was cut short by the politicians. Unfortunately the best generals tend to be the most politically incorrect.

    … R.I.P. from me, too. He was one of the “good guys” and should have been listened to.
    .
    Colin Powell, also comes to mind.

    True. Over-long wars, though, do lessen (or lesson) us all.

    Actually, IIRC the early 1990s was when Corporate America woke up to the fact that military officers frequently have the type of leadership training and experience that CEOs were paying obscene sums of money to send their people away to training for.

    I don’t think you have the record to label ANYONE a “kook”.
