He was a "soldier's general". The
troops called him
Stormin’ Norman, but never in earshot of
commanding officers, the name given him for his reputed temper;
however, the troops had called him that for different reasons.
General (4-star)
Norman Schwarzkopf was called such a nickname because of his
attitude about winning in combat and wars. The general was also
called
The Bear by some, based on his stature. I always will
remember him as the smiling general who gave all for his troops and
expected nothing less than what he would do. He was one of those heroes who
lived its life, but did not put himself above his troops. Let’s
face it, even to a non-commissioned officer such as myself,
sometimes the presence of a general could make one nervous,
especially one with four stars on each shoulder.
