"I am quite confident that in the foreseeable future
armed conflict will not
take the form of huge land armies facing each other across
extended battle
lines, as they did in World War I and World War II or, for
that matter, as
they would have if NATO had faced the Warsaw Pact on the
field of battle."
- 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 art, 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 1991
"We need to destroy not attack, not damage, not surround.
I want to destroy
the Republican Guard"
-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf 1991
"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
"If we do go to war, psychological operations are
going to be absolutely a
critical, critical part of any campaign that we must get
involved in."
-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf
"The mothers and fathers of America will give you
their sons and daughters...with the confidence in you that
you will not needlessly waste their lives. And you dare
not. That's the burden the mantle of leadership places upon
you. You could be the person who gives the orders that will
bring about the deaths of thousands and thousands of young
men and women. It is an awesome responsibility. You cannot
fail. You dare not fail..."
-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

Cadets on 15 May 1991 by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf
"....If you leave here with the word DUTY implanted
in your mind; if you leave here with the word HONOR carved
in your soul; if you leave here with love of COUNTRY stamped
on your heart, then you will be a twenty-first century leader
worthy...of the great privilege and honor...of leading...the
sons and daughters of America..."
