He goes from tears to a huge smile to eyes that say "don't fuck with me". And they all seem true. Easy to understand the love troops (and not just US troops) loved him!
This is a different breed of General I'm in the 75th Ranger regiment and this man is a Legend to this day. This was a general who cared about his troops he cared about his country and he even cared about the enemy. This Duty dignity and courage this man showed throughout his military career was truly inspiring. This is a humble honest good American he will forever be one of my favorites.
What is really amazing about this is how well they researched and planned Desert Storm. Amazing considering the follow up by Bush Jr. was an absolute disaster and used as a front to perpetuate 1997's equivalent of Project 2025. Those fools thought the Iraqis would be welcoming the Americans and that they'd be in Iran by the end of the year. Fools.
What an honor and privilege to have had this caliber of man willing to serve our country for 39 years. Thank you General Schwarzkoph. Rest easy sir. The only General that comes close in modern times that I can think of is Mattis.

I didn't return to Germany the same person that I was before when I went to Desert Storm. My NCO's pointed that out to me. I was not a NCO. My NCO's told me that I was much more serious. Much more "business". Self-reflecting... Yes, I was. Garrison life was BS! Being in the real deal, no BS! That kind of scared me. When the Army was reducing the forces, I had 3 years in service. I could put my request in and get out with an honorable discharge. I left the Army in 1992. I still remember all those good times, shitty times and scared stiff times. I do not regret it. What scares me even more... I'd do it all over again. That's crazy to say. But it's true.
One of the guys I went through basic training with, and who I'm still friends with to the day, is the son of the guy who was Schwarzkopf's roommate at West Point. He had a lot of photos and a couple autographed by the General. He even wrote my friend a letter after hearing of his father's passing. The General was an amazing man who learned, like Colin Powell, in Vietnam that there's a right way and a wrong way to win a war.
I truly, truly wish I had the honor of meeting him. My dad was an ARMY WW2 vet. At 7:42 during the video, that was "the look" my dad gave me if I ever stepped a toe on his bad side. We need men like this today.
I like this man because he really shows how we should always be like him in our future and I admire him for his leadership and commitment to our country and troops so RIP general I salute you sir you are my idol like anyone else
This two person's on this video are both legit heroes of their own occupation. The General was very humble the way he talks and Barbara as usual was a shining star. May their soul rest in peace.
God Bless you, Sir! You were not called Storm'n Norman because you beat your staff down; You, Sir, were called Storm'n Norman because You had the absolute support and confidence of every single staff member of your Team no matter what task you guys faced!! And; You PREVAILED!! Total Wow, Sir!
It's 2018 and a thought I've had is men needed to be reminded what a man is. We have an increase of soy boys today but I do feel there are lots of real men out there looking for a reason to stand out
5-Star is an appointment. You get it if you're appointed Supreme commander over a combined allied force, and you relinquish the 5th star once your appointment is over
@@alexjohnson5677 mmmm... you may want to check into that statement. Look at Douglas MacArthur as an example. BTW Barbara said there were 5 people who made the rank of "5 star general" - more like seven... 5 in WWII... and two immediately following. Bradley was the last one.
What he meant by _the environment_ and what' cynical alarmist social manipulators today mean by "the environment" are radically different things. Conservationism, actual conservation, going back to Roosevelt or the Audubon Society has always been a deeply entrenched Heritage American issue. Fake environmental virtue signaling is the purview of the left. And that's because it has never actually been about protecting the environment, but about harming their enemies.
Wow... I miss the news as it was back then. I do remember staying up for most of the night when coalition airstrikes started and watching CNN for as long as I could. It's a shame that we simply refuse to force the media into reporting what is happening and allowing us to draw conclusions. Now we get 24 hours of talking heads telling us what we should think, and dividing the country.
I was 10 years old when the war started. Although, I didn't understood the substance at the time, I remember as it was yesterday while my family and their friends talk about it drinking coffee almost every night. Men peoples those days loves to discuss and exchange which is rare today.
This is when America was in the midst of the crack epidemic, police brutality, and being the world police. Oh, wait. I guess America is America today. Opioid epidemic, police brutality ... but now we're afraid of being world police and letting dictators get the jump on us. Sad!
You have not seen General Schwarzkopf’s speech to the West Point Corps of Cadets about this very subject. He calls your very line of comment “Monday Morning quarterbacking” and says it’s quite an assumption from someone who has never been shot at in anger.
Carelessness and negliance and lously leadership and self serving leaders cost human lifes. And you just can't forgive that! That sentence should be part of the oath of office of every politician around the world.
America will remain great as long as we continue to produce leaders like this man and Colin Powell. Thank you sir for all you did for our country and long live your name!
One iraquí general challenged pres. Bush together with his generals a battle, they will use the same weapons, under the supervision of the UN, they will choose the battlefield, they will have the same number of troops. Bush brushed it aside. It should saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
If he was alive, he might have. He hired General Mattis who's cut from the very same cloth. Trumps a moron for the most part, but he did pick a few decent people.
He goes from tears to a huge smile to eyes that say "don't fuck with me". And they all seem true. Easy to understand the love troops (and not just US troops) loved him!
“The time to quit isn’t when everything’s broken , the time to quit is when everything’s fixed” wow
This is a different breed of General I'm in the 75th Ranger regiment and this man is a Legend to this day.

United States of America was Blessed to been able to have this man
What a warrior he was. Seeing his very human side here brought tears to my eyes
he sleeps with a poncho liner? what a legend. God Bless Stormin' Norman.
Stupid much?
1) You missspelled his name. 2) His father fought in the US Army in WW2
I agree, you are in fact very stupid.

we all did in the army, much better than those wool blankets on our bunks and much warmer too.
God! I love this guy. Probably the best US commander since WW2.

The only General that comes close in modern times that I can think of is Mattis.
Mattis doesn't even come close. He's self-serving and egotistical, despite what his writings and musings about himself make him out to be.

@@erihaas There are deep state generals too, you know. It's hard to know who's who. Someday soon I think we'll find out truly who is who.

I'd do it all over again. That's crazy to say. But it's true.
This man has a deep love for the men that served under him.
I tear up 😢when watching Norman ...he's really something big
7:20 'nobody spit at ME'
Able to not take it personally insults that are directed at you. This is what I call STRENGTH
He's right. What I heard and saw in Vietnam, what I heard and saw when I came home.....I WILL NEVER FORGIVE OR FORGET. This guy is a true leader.
The fire in the eyes at 7:24....
The Bear was coming out then. As a British soldier I love this man...Rest in Peace STORMIN' NORMAN!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A man born to serve his country, on and off the battlefield, great man
At times, Patton cried.
"NOBODY spit at me." And Schwarzkopf was so physically big and strong, he could have probably injured anyone who spit at him.
He learned from Vietnam. Don't go unless you go with everything. Thank you God for this man. My family paid the price for Vietnam
One of the guys I went through basic training with, and who I'm still friends with to the day, is the son of the guy who was Schwarzkopf's roommate at West Point.

When she asked question about nam you saw the 1,000 yard stare Norman had for brief moment
The best damn General since Patton!!!
I truly, truly wish I had the honor of meeting him. My dad was an ARMY WW2 vet. At 7:42 during the video, that was "the look" my dad gave me if I ever stepped a toe on his bad side. We need men like this today.
What a human been... Thanks for all General.
Great MAN!
How can you not like this man?
I fucking love that he calls out the shitty officers of Vietnam, and in general. A true leader.
7:33 the generals face , this man is a man of his word . RIP general
I like this man because he really shows how we should always be like him in our future and I admire him for his leadership and commitment to our country and troops so RIP general I salute you sir you are my idol like anyone else

Barbara Walters is still alive though
Barbara Walters was a great interviewer !
The greatest General in US history!

If he had run for president I would have supported him all the way!!!
What an amazing man. A real soldier. Was he made a five star General?
+kirked007 No. Last 5 star was Omar Bradley
he was offered but he decline
No Congress would have to authorize it an that didn't happen

He was the best. An amazing person.
Listen to that man... Thank you Sir.
A TRUE mans man!!!
He seems very polite, humble and amiable. Im sure for De La Billiere he was a man who he could get along with and work well with.
Good man, Excellent leader who appreciated his marines soldiers sailors, and airmen.
“He was a man, take him for all in all; I shall not look upon his like again.”
This man cared so much about the environment back then and so called patriots today deny their service to the environment.
What he meant by _the environment_ and what' cynical alarmist social manipulators today mean by "the environment" are radically different things.

Good to know that even Stormin Norman found comfort in the woobie.
This is when America was America, and we had real heroes.

His nickname is stormin Norman lightning
He was the man!
Great intelligence 🧠
As the grandson of a WW2 vet, I've seen that not all wounds are physical. My grandfather had nightmares until the day he died.
My dad was WW2, and he had undiagnosed PTSD. Same thing... nightmares until the end. And today's generation is concerned about what pronouns to use.
You what would be interesting. A book about the world if this guy ran for and got elected for president in 2000

I knew him wo
When he was apart of the 101a bn how there to mac dile a force bace
real man
I would love to hear that other officers undwr his command picked up one of the causes he championed
What a gentlemen and soldier!!! Rest Well in God's Arms Sir.
At 4:28 he talks about the environment and service for the country. WOW. The military was already worried about climate change
Can you stamp the part where he mentioned global warming please
A true General and a cultured officer.
I slept under a poncho liner in desert storm also
I wonder if he gave good hugs
God bless this great American Saviour.

Norman Schwarzkopf is the man Desert Storm all the way Norman
A piece if Iraq, what a memento
Humility.
Walter is an expensive count.

He deserved fifth star.
Not how that works
He turned it down
A man's man
Who fits that description at 3:11.....?
If you're proud to fit that description you've missed his point
Great Human!
I Salute You Sir,God Bless.

Wish we had the General today to give us advice, as the U.S. is on the cusp of war against Iran. R.I.P.
