RIP norman.
WHen we fight wars, I wish the Politicians would stay out of it and let men like Norman do what is necessary to overwehlm and win a war as quickly as possible.

This man deserves credit for more than just the victory of Desert Storm he also deserves some of the credit for restoring public confidence in the American military. His leadership in Desert Storm led to victory couped with low American casualties restored the US military's reputation that was severely tarnished by Vietnam.
Rest in peace General...Sir. |

What you're missing is that wars are a political act as well. Sometimes how to "win" is easy and obvious, and that's when what you're saying makes perfect sense. Sometimes how to win is not at all easy or obvious. You're also making a mistake if you think for a second that all generals agree on how to win a war. The amount of "politics" INTERNAL to the military in a major war is just as significant as the politics external to the military. Just sayin'

You have this completely backwards. Stormin Norman wanted nothing to do with going to Bagdad, the UN Mandate was to free Kuwait which was accomplished.

Vietnam was a disaster; this 10 year 'conflict' with Iraq/Afghanistan is a disaster etc. I think you hold off on pushing all your chips in until there is truly a need for war; then you go all-in. IMO.

No argument. The issue with wars nowadays is who is the enemy? As the "enemy" becomes less clear, so does the mission, which then becomes much more political and much less susceptible to military (or purely military) answers. In other words, messy as hell.

You have to be pushed to do things that damn you to hell. It takes a certain kind of person to do what it takes. If you ever watch a documentary on Japan and Curtis Lemay it will haunt you, but they did what had to be done. |
