I never met him, but he and my dad were in HS together in Germany after WWII. They both played on the football team.

He certainly was a guy to be respected.

I will only speak a little on this.

Warrior

Old School MAN

Scared the crap out of all his subordinates when he was upset.

I salute you old man and I am putting my flag at half mast.

His press conference to close out the first Gulf War was pure classic...

A great soldier and a great American.

Had a friend who was a 3 star general. Never met a 4 star personally. They are impressive men at that rank.

RIP General.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

I remember his "Luckiest man in Baghdad" remark when he showed the video of the guy in car going across the bridge just before we blew it up. That was great.

Not a quote, but he once said in so many word he hoped his men complained on the way home he was an SOB, because it meant he got them back alive.
