RIP. Good soldier who was as honest a public figure as we've seen in the past 50 years.

"As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, 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." - Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf

Below are 10 quotes from Gen. Schwarzkopf that encapsulate his views on leadership and war.

10) “Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.”

9) “You learn far more from negative leadership than positive leadership. Because you learn how not to do it.”

8) “War is a profane thing.”

7) “The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.”

6) “True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that’s what courage is.”

5) “It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.”

4) “When placed in command, take charge.”

3) “The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in battle.”

2) “Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar; and still there are things worth fighting for.”

1) “Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without strategy.”

Stormin Norman knew his Jackson and Lee, particularly looking at #3 and #2.

My favorite quote from him was when he was giving a press conference and narrating some IR video if a bridge being blown up, and there was this guy on in a car going across the bridge. The guy JUST made it across when the bridge blew up, and the General said "See this guy? That guy is the luckiest man in the world."

I remember that vividly.
