    One of my favorite historical figures of my lifetime. Prayers to his family and friends. Anyone know if he knew Christ?

    A brilliant military tactician and a great leader of men.

    Something this country is in short supply of.

    RIP General.

    But dont forget that Stromming Norman indicated how great of a military leader that Hussein was to a room full of reporters:
    "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."

    By the way, he was the Assistant Division Commander of the 8th Infantry Division, in 1980 the same year I assigned duty with the 8th.

    Came across this article about the Good General

    From the link: In 1992 he told CNN's Larry King that “I hate war. Absolutely, I hate war. Good generalship is a realization that ... you've got to try and figure out how to accomplish your mission with a minimum loss of human life

    and I agree with the General.
