Got that right

Yeah, I remember getting an odd sized pair of Boots.....a "10" and a "10 1/2".

😅

I can argue that being a good general now is harder than in ancient times. Modern technology is not easy to understand!

His leadership qualities will be studied well into the 21st century.

@@vilefiend9603 best general 😄

LEFT A STAIN IN HISTORY👎👎

​@@user-jr3kb8qy8e He's the commander of gulf war. Not Iraq war. They were liberating kuwait. What are you. Sadamm's bastard son?

Yes the first time anyone has praised Schwarzkopf, the guy should have been knighted by the Queen and his hand shaken by the POTUS but no had to wait for random KZfaq videos

​@@Shadow_3-1nah dude, it's just some irony, what he basically says is, that being handshaked by POTUS and knighted by the queen is nothing (irony) in comparison to this YT Vid, what you could understand of the comment of OP. So no, he isnt saying that we shouldn't honour military heroes, but is simply making a joke about OP

his book is great

@@derrickstorm6976 Are you joking?

@@derrickstorm6976 : Did you watch the video at all? He was Knighted by Queen Elizabeth.

truly an honorable man, we don't get to see alot of those nowadays.

That is a great story and family tradition, you must be very proud. God bless !

it's a really good read for being an autobiography

jip a really good one.

Principled gentlemen seem to run in this family.

Yes Americans are so bad ass but they can't actually win a war

​@@James-kv6kbThe Gulf war wasn't a US victory?

@@Brslld ok I was neglectful, I should have put in my comment the Americans can't win a war without other countries helping or doing all the hard work first. Now nothing was actually achieved the yanks just took out a middle eastern dictator to make sure the oil wasn't affected (after he was no longer friendly with the United states) ,which caused major instability in the region for the next 30 years. Which of course the Americans wanted so they can sell military equipment. Also you weren't the only ones at the gulf War, yet again the Australians were helping the Americans as we've done in every war since the civil war, you also had the British two countries that actually do know what they're doing in conflict .So your country is giving 600 billion dollars to the military every year and you can only come up with one example I think you've proven me right.

His father was well-connected military/police man as explained in the first minute of the video

@@KannabisMajorisyou missed his point

All careers should be like that... should do it because you care, not because of force or connections.

@@kokits He didn't. Schwarzkopf lived a life of privilege. This isn't a knock against him. Just statement of fact.

I love the way you don't have to be very good at your job to be worshipped by Americans

Just a point Nimitz wasn't a General, he was an Admiral.

@@timf2279 I know. However the leadership styles are very similar.

Bradley was not a great general.

​@waitingfordaybreak8485 explain for research purposes

@@Dipp182don’t listen to them. Bradley was one of the best generals in history and commanded the largest American force EVER during WWII out of anyone else. He also recommended Patton to be given command of the US II corps.

Exactly what I was thinking. Was just about to go rewatch it myself.

he just projected strength in that conference.

@@16rumpole It's probably where he got the nickname the Bear. He just oozed control and confidence.

He was pretty much the anti Biden. Norman projected authority and confidence. He was very much a man. Of course now, he would be attacked as displaying toxic masculinity

I thought I was the only person to know that game exists. But the reference of the Shwarzkopf tanks was always a nice touch

I liked the voice control of that one.

That was such a good game, I wish there was a sequel.

That is cool

Maybe the video game should not allow America to win ever because they never have

I used to think that North Vietnam was the good one and their army was better. Now I think they were arrogant and evil.

@@doraemon61377 totally agreed with you as the Hons.John McCain had said to the face of the communist Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tien Dung during one of the official visit that" The Vietnam War was won by the wrong guy"

​@tanletran7270 I used to admire the North Vietnamese army as the heroic underdog fighting against a superior enemy due to my Asian culture. However I now know that their generals are a bunch of cowards who left their poorly equipped soldiers fighting and living in poor conditions (they lived like rats in dangerous tunnels for years!). Real leadership is fought on conventional battlefield, not from tunnels.

The vietcong perpetrated the massacre of Hue against civilians. Murdering opposition and terrorism is the communist go to strategy...

@@doraemon61377 You can see the ARVN as more competent than first thought, without writing off the entire other side as evil We shouldn't have been there. US politicians sacrificed American lives for a political win.

Used to be British good enough I guess

@@Jabarri74 Yes

*Technically part of a rebel colony *impressed the queen

@@iridium8341 Why? It's a ceremonial role, get out of here with your bitching, it's really pathetic!

@@Jabarri74 his name sounds german though

And boy, did you guys bring down the thunder! I don't think Saddam ever fully recovered mentally from that hit.

@@matasa7463 What was really amazing was waking up one morning with 100s of fighter jets flying 500 feet or less over you as headed toward Kuwait and Iraq. You could almost see the guys in the cockpits. It was non-stop for days of the airwar. Trying to sleep was really difficult. Once we got to our final position, I would have my MRE in the evening 1630 and watch B-52 fly over at 20,000 feet. With binoculars you could see the bombs being release for a few months and then wait for the ground to shake from the blast miles away from you.

@@matasa7463 You damn right he never recovered from that ass whooping! He went up against an army that was training for decades to go toe to toe with the Soviet Bear and its Eastern European minions! That boy Saddam thought he was going to fight them like he fought Iran for 8 years. But NOPE! He didn't see how this fight would turn out to be.

@@fudgepacker2858 me??? You are sadly mistaken.

How come you guys can't actually win a war without smaller countries helping ? Edit and why do you need to remove comments when people want to tell the truth ?

Yes that's so American all talk but you can't win a war

How do you know he wasn't a child predator if he was doing that

@@James-kv6kb Why are you in every single comment trying to crap on Schwarzkopf's legacy, no matter how farfetched it may be?

@@Aredel someone has to tell you the truth about your bloody country and what you've done or I have not done because the internet who now runs all communication across the world won't tell you, your government won't tell you your teacher's won't tell you . Seriously I've seen people from your country on KZfaq that can't point to their own country on a map and you still think you're a superpower lol

Not anymore!

@@paulprigge1209 yeah. I just edited my comment to past tense.

@@davebartosh5 thank you I wasn’t trying to be a Rascal. I thought you had a post years ago maybe.

@@paulprigge1209 No worries. Actually thanks. I wasn't aware what year he had passed. You got me to look it up. 😏

I still can't get over the fact that you worship these people but they've never won

That's why eventually the Americans were chased out of the middle east by men wearing dresses

They set the bar very low in your country don't they

​@James-kv6kb we do. We even let guys named James post dumb stuff on KZfaq.

Patraeus, although he screwed up later in his career

You've never had any good generals that's why you've never won a war

Even Mad Dog Mattis?

@@Aredel Mattis is very good. But he didn’t fight a theater wide War like Schwarzkopf

If you need a first name, they'll issue you one!

What would you like to see?

@@TheIntelReport more about the general and how he commanded the war would be cool

@@bookmark2232 have you watched the series he made about the kuwait war? it's pretty thorough

The Abrams X is a tech demonstration and not the next MBT

ROFL.

You'll have to wait for the book.

He retired after the war.

U.S. Army Field manuals are a bit dry, but are publicly available. Don't know what you are specifically interested in, but I would wager start with FM 3-0 OPERATIONS, FM 3-90 TACTICS, FM 3-94 ARMIES, CORPS, AND DIVISION OPERATIONS, FM 6-05 MULTI-SERVICE TACTICS, TECHNIQUES, AND PROCEDURES FOR CONVENTIONAL FORCES AND SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES INTEGRATION, INTEROPERABILITY, AND INTERDEPENDENCE. Further information can be broken down into ATP (ARMY TACTICS, TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES) but I don't know how publicly available these are outside of ATTP 3-06.11 COMBINED ARMS OPERATIONS IN URBAN TERRAIN.

You have a real problem with time here. Tactics and Strategy change over time partially in response to differences in technology and then the conditions present in one locality of terrain and people. You have people of some cultures who are very effective using some tactics but hopeless at others - so - it depends on what they are trying to do as to how successful they may be. You can do internet, KZfaq and Wikipedia Searches - then, especially with the Wikipedia Searches - look at their sources. What you are asking is something people have devoted their entire lives to - so - the amount of time you invest in this is going to depend on how much you care about understanding it. A Simple KZfaq Comment - is not going to get you an in depth understanding of how things worked at once particular time as opposed to another. Here - a major problem for the Historian/Enthusiast with CURRENT tactics - is that the my not want people to know what they are planning on doing and how they are planning on doing it. Here's a KZfaq Search on Strategy and Tactics kzfaq.info?search_query=tactics+and+strategy+ .
