| Austin, Texas or Jupiter, Florida | Subject: RE: RIP General H Norman Schwartzkopf I was just reminded of a story about how Schwartzkopf once flew to where his troops in Vietnam were trapped in a minefield and then went into the minefield to get the troops out. 4 or so mines went off and he was wounded as he was holding a wounded troop down to keep him from setting off more mines. He then told the engineers to mark the mines with shaving cream and the men walked out. As a former combat engineer, I remembered that story when my troops were clearing mines to get the crew of a helicopter to safety when they landed on a hilltop minefield. The troops who cleared the lane had shaving cream and spray paint. Metal sets off some mines. So the little flags are no good. He really was a troop-first leader. Someone to emulate. |

Champion 6931 Bellingham, Washington | Subject: RE: RIP General H Norman Schwartzkopf I got to be part of his Big Left Hook, Hail Mary manuever with the 24th ID (M) {I was USAF TACP 3rd of the 15th Inf (M)}during Desert Storm. All the while during Desert Shield, I felt very comfortable and confident that the big guy knew what he was doing. A very very good General for the situation at hand. He had a great career. Sad to see him go so young. Not sure what Generals are thinking of these days. |
