Exclamation Source: Retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf dies

A U.S. official says retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who commanded the U.S.-led international coalition that drove Saddam Hussein's forces out of Kuwait in 1991, has died. He was 78.

The official tells The Associated Press that Schwarzkopf died Thursday in Tampa, Fla. The official wasn't authorized to release the information publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

A much-decorated combat soldier in Vietnam, Schwarzkopf was known popularly as "Stormin' Norman" for a notoriously explosive temper.

Oo-rah. I remember seeing a few of those MLRS in action and thinking, "Let it rain baby, let it rain". Very impressive, it still makes me warm & fuzzy thinking that kind of firepower was on our side, .
