Lost a Great American today. God Bless Him.

Here are some of his better quotes:

“It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.”
-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

“Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy.”
-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

“Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion.”
-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

“As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that, he's a great military man, I want you to know that.“
-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

“Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.”
-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"We need to destroy not attack, not damage, not surround. I want to destroy the Republican Guard"
-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"I feel that retired generals should never miss an opportunity to remain silent concerning matters for which they are no longer responsible."
- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"Yesterday at the beginning of the ground war Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world. Today they have the second largest army in Iraq"
- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

"I know a taxidermy man back home. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him!"
