He was known as ‘Stormin Norman’
Norman Schwarzkopf gained a reputation as a no-nonsense leader who, when necessary, could be tough with his soldiers during his time as a military commander. As a result, he was given the moniker "Stormin Norman," which would later grow in popularity. However, it is reported that Norman Schwarzkopf disliked the moniker and thought his methods were helpful to his soldiers and a type of tough love.
Schwarzkopf served in the Vietnam War after receiving his West Point diploma. He was promoted to major general in 1983, and a few years later he was named four-star general and appointed head of the U.S. Central Command. Throughout his tenure, he oversaw troops in Grenada and the Persian Gulf War. In Florida, he passed away in December 2012.
It was reported that Norman Schwarzkopf preferred to be known as "the Bear" and was a very kind and kind person.
