Desert Storm Commander Norman Schwarzkopf... : Latest News, Information, Answers and Websites

marines or army infantry which sees more action?

i plan on joining the marines or army infantry and i want to see the most action which branch should i join for that? alright thanks for the answers but i will be joining the MARINES not for action, not for the money, not just for the pussy, well maybe for the pussy lol, but i want to become a marine for the pride even if i have to wait till november to go to basic, HOORAH!!!
Answer: I think Douglas is referring to Iraq. The Marines have already pulled out of Iraq. One of the first things Gen. Conway said, when he became Commandant of the Marine Corps, was the Marines had no mission in Iraq. He advocated pulling them out and fighting our real enemies in Afghanistan, where we should have been all along. The Marine Corps is the thrust of the efforts in Afghanistan. I'm sure you will see more Army deployed there as they allow Iraq to retake control of their country. Most actions are on the sclae of Somalia, Beruit, and Grenada. If you want to be among those who are successful, join the Marines. They were in Beruit. They made the landing at Mogadishu and made an effective effort there. It was Army Rangers who were ambushed in Mogadishu after the Marines had left. It was the Marines who made successful the attack in Grenada. The Army had their new Blackhawk helicopters and, being unfamiliar with them, destroyed 3 of 4 helicopters trying to make a landing. Gen. Schwarzkopf, in his autobiography, tells how the Army was losing so many helicopters that he went to the Marines to get help landing his troops. When the Marine commander told him Marine helicopters were involved in Marine operations, he went to the naval commander to get the Marines to provide transport for his troops. The Marine Corps has a long record of success. The Army's pride is the 7th Cavalry which was defeated by a few native Americans. And the 7th Cavalry was again tested beyond its resources at Ia Drang in Vietnam. I do not deny the courage shown by the 7th cav at Ia Drang. Garry Owen!!!! If you Army people want to give me a thumbs down, at least have the courtesy to tell me why the 7th Cav. is a great fighting force. The greatest accolades for the Marine Corps comes from Army officers. Some examples:"There are only two kinds of people who understand U.S. Marines, marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second hand opinion." Army Gen. William Thornson "The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of marines. Lord, how they could fight!" Major Gen Frank Lowe, U.S. Army "Why in hell can't the Army do it if the Marines can. They are the same kind of men; why can't they be like the Marines." Commanding Gen. of U.S. forces, WWI, Gen. John J. "Blackjack Pershing, U.S. Army "We have two companies of marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?" Gen John Vessey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Army, Grenada, 1983 "I can't say enough about the two Marine divisions. If I use words like brilliant it would really be an under description of the absolutely superb job that they did in breaching the so-called impenetrable barrier. It was classic --- absolutely classic -- military breaching of a very very tough minefield, barbed wire, fire trenches type barrier." Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, Commanding Gen., allied forces, U.S. Army, Operation Desert Storm And I'll end my crusade with another quote from U.S. Army Gen. John "Blackjack" Pershing, Commanding Gen, U.S. Forces, WWI, "The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle." How would deny all these accolades from Army generals? I do have one other story which Marine General Anthony Zinni told in his biography. We helped form the ROK (Republic of Korea) Marines who are reknowned in their toughness. In Vietnam we formed the Vietnamese Marines. They wore tattoos denigrating the NVA. They didn't dare risk capture because they would be tortured to death. They lived by the Marine creed of no surrender. Gen Zinni told a story about how his Vietnamese Marines were called to support the U.S. Army. This Army Captain had seen Vietnamese run from battle and he admonished the leader of the Vietnamese Marines that he wanted them to be there in the battle. The commander of the Vietnamese Marines replied, "We are Marines, sir. We will always be in front of you." Semper Fi

Persian Gulf war HELP!!!?

-What were the major battles? (I know only of desert storm) -Who were the military leaders on the field (at least 2) -Whagt was the turning point of the war? Thank you ppl!!!!!
Answer: Desert Storm was the operation. Desert Shield was the movement of American troops into Saudi Arabia. The battles were not given names because the Iraqis were crushed so thoroughly and so quickly (you could count the air war as one and the battle of Khafji as another). The Turning point of the war was the start of the Allied ground campaign. The commanders were General Norman Schwarzkopf and Saddam Hussein.

Should General Schwarzkopf Be Called Out Of Retirement To Command In Afghanistan?

He is the most brilliant and successful combat General the United States has had since World War Two.Lets be honest.Green Beanie Stanley McChrystal and West Point book worm David Petraus wont get the job done.
Answer: No, he shouldn't. Stormin' Norman hardly qualifies as a brilliant tactical mind. His strategy wasn't all that inventive. Pound the crap out of enemy positions with concentrated air bombarment, fake a water-born landing somewhere else, and then blitz the weakest point in the enemy line. This is textbook stuff and really only worked as well as it did because the preponderance of firepower, training, and technological superiority lay on the American side of the equation. If the Iraqi forces had possessed the technology and training to put them on par with the Coalition forces it would have been a much harder fought and bloodier outcome. If the Iraqi forces had refused to engage the American forces in a stand-up fight and instead pursued an insrugency campaign like we see going on in Afghanistan then Schwazkopf's strategy would have fallen flat on its face. When you actually look at Schwarzkopf's strategy it becomes quickly apparent that he is an average conventional warfare commander and an exceptional logistician. He can plan and excecute a straight-up fight and is a master at get the materials in place to do that but Afghanistan is not a straight-up fight and so it calls for unconventional strategies. When it comes to unconventional warfare Schwarzkopf is infamously substandard in his approach. When the JSOC wanted to send Special Forces and SEAL teams after the mobile SCUD launchers and then put together a viable plan to do so, he flatly refused to allow it to occur. He felt that the Special Forces units were a bunch of cowboys and prima donnas who used up tons of money for very little return. He was finally forced to relent and allow the US SpecOps to go ahead with their plans AFTER the success of the British SAS teams became public knowledge. When he first learned that the British commanders had gone ahead with their own plan, that was essentially identical to the JSOC plan, without his approval he was furious and threw one of his trademark tantrums. He only changed his tune because it became politically expedient to do so. Counter-insurgency warfare requires the same sort of highly mobile, small unit tactics that Spec Ops units have pioneered and perfected. Schwarzkopf has his strengths and for Desert Shield/Desert Storm he was pretty much the right guy in the right job. He wasn't perfect but he was successful. Afghanistan is an entirely different kettle of fish and as good as Norman was in Iraq he is very clearly not the right man for the job in Afghanistan.

FILM REVIEW; Questioning U.S. Motives In the Persian Gulf War

It has been 11 years since Saddam Hussein sent his troops marching into Kuwait and 10 years since the United States and its allies announced a sudden cease-fire in the conflict that came to be known as the Persian Gulf war. Yet for a large number of Americans, the reasons behind the conflict remain unclear and its consequences obscure. As its title - By DAVE KEHR

How would you compare Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf to other well known field commanders?

Would you compare him favorably or unfavorably? Thanks! Compare him with whomever you like!
Answer: Depends on who you want to compare him with. He did pretty well from an operational perspective in the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm), but made several strategic blunders when negotiating the peace settlement. Although one could also fault the GHW Bush Administration for this as well. His background and experience is mostly in conventional military operations, so I don't know that he compares well with Generals Petreaus or McKiernan.

Why did a United states Marine want to do harm to me?

I said "I love Hussein". Marine said "I will hurt you". I said "I love your boss to be "Barack Hussein Obama". The Marine then started dancing like the River dancers in joy. Dancing with joy.
Answer: So, Mr. Helper, we're talking to Marines again. Well as long as you are telling us what you said to Marines, let's see what real people in real life say about them: If I had one more division like this First Marine Division I could win this war. General of the Armies Douglas McArthur in Korea, overheard and reported by Marine Staff Sergeant Bill Houghton, Weapons/2/5 The American Marines have it [pride], and benefit from it. They are tough, cocky, sure of themselves and their buddies. They can fight and they know it. General Mark Clark, U.S. Army Do not attack the First Marine Division. Leave the yellowlegs alone. Strike the American Army. Orders given to Communist troops in the Korean War; shortly afterward, the Marines were ordered to not wear their khaki leggings. You cannot exaggerate about the Marines. They are convinced to the point of arrogance, that they are the most ferocious fighters on earth- and the amusing thing about it is that they are. Father Kevin Keaney 1st Marine Division Chaplain Korean War There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion. Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on? Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., USA, Chairman of the the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the assault on Grenada, 1983 Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat. RAdm. "Jay" R. Stark, USN; 10 November 1995 My only answer as to why the Marines get the toughest jobs is because the average Leatherneck is a much better fighter. He has far more guts, courage, and better officers... These boys out here have a pride in the Marine Corps and will fight to the end no matter what the cost. 2nd Lt. Richard C. Kennard, Peleliu, World War II This was the first time that the Marines of the two nations had fought side by side since the defence of the Peking Legations in 1900. Let it be said that the admiration of all ranks of 41 Commando for their brothers in arms was and is unbounded. They fought like tigers and their morale and esprit de corps is second to none. Lt Col. D.B. Drysdale, Commanding 41 Commando, Chosen Reservoir, on the 1st Marine Division There was always talk of espirit de corps, of being gung ho, and that must have been a part of it. Better, tougher training, more marksmanship on the firing range, the instant obedience to orders seared into men in boot camp. James Brady, columnist, novelist, press secretary to President Reagan, television personality and Marine By their victory, the 3rd, 4th and 5th Marine Divisions and other units of the Fifth Amphibious Corps have made an accounting to their country which only history will be able to value fully. Among the Americans who served on Iwo Island, uncommon valor was a common virtue. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, U.S. Navy The Marine Corps has just been called by the New York Times, 'The elite of this country.' I think it is the elite of the world. Admiral William Halsey, U.S. Navy I can't say enough about the two Marine divisions. If I use words like 'brilliant,' it would really be an under description of the absolutely superb job that they did in breaching the so-called 'impenetrable barrier.' It was a classic- absolutely classic- military breaching of a very very tough minefield, barbed wire, fire trenches-type barrier. Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, U. S. Army Commander, Operation Desert Storm, February 1991 I am convinced that there is no smarter, handier, or more adaptable body of troops in the world. Prime Minister of Britain, Sir Winston Churchhill The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. Gen. John "Black Jack" Pershing, U.S. Army Commander of American Forces in World War I Why in hell can't the Army do it if the Marines can. They are the same kind of men; why can't they be like Marines. Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing, USA; 12 February 1918 Lying offshore, ready to act, the presence of ships and Marines sometimes means much more than just having air power or ship's fire, when it comes to deterring a crisis. And the ships and Marines may not have to do anything but lie offshore. It is hard to lie offshore with a C-141 or C-130 full of airborne troops. Gen. Colin Powell, U. S. Army Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff During Operation Desert Storm Our Morale began to break when the dying Marines kept Coming. Captured Japanese on Tarawa.

How is Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf remembered in history? Whats your take on him?

He was the commander in chief of the US forces during Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War 1991.
Answer: I know who General Norman Schwarzkopf is, although I have not read his book "It Doesn't Take a Hero." How will 'Stormin' Norman' be remembered? As a successful general, the liberator of Kuwait, and also for putting into effect the strategem that Sun Zi (Sun Tzu) wrote about centuries ago in "The Art of War" in the 20th century. Maybe Schwarzkopf will also be remembered for his quotes too. "Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy."

why is the president the head of the military?

Answer: A commander-in-chief is the commander of a nation's military forces or significant element of those forces. In 1867 Congress attempted to limit the President's powers as Commander in Chief by passing the Army Appropriations Act. The Act included the “command of the army” provisions, which required that the president issue all commands to the army through the General of the Army. This act was condemned by President Andrew Johnson, but he nevertheless signed it into law. In the United States, the Goldwater-Nichols Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 added a new level of commanders-in-chief (CINCs). Under Goldwater-Nichols, regional CINCs were created to bring a local supreme commander to a conflict, the most well-known of which was CINC CENTCOM, who was Norman Schwarzkopf during Operation Desert Storm. On October 24, 2002, Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld announced that the title of "Commander-in-Chief" would thereafter be reserved for the President, consistent with the terms of Article II of the United States Constitution. Armed forces CINCs in specified regions would thereafter be known as "combatant commanders," heading the Unified Combatant Commands. As of May 2006, there are nine Unified Combatant Commands. Five have regional responsibilities, and four have functional responsibilities. The chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense to the combatant commanders of the Unified Combatant Commands. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff may transmit communications to the Commanders of the Unified Combatant Commands from the President and Secretary of Defense, but does not exercise military command over any combatant forces. Authority as Commander-in-Chief on the battlefield As Commander-in-Chief, the U.S. President outranks any military officer and so has the inherent right to assume command on the battlefield. However, because presidents are rarely present in war zones, and often have less military experience than the military commanders, only two presidents, George Washington and James Madison, have so far done so. Bush says he's "the decider".

Did this Proud Good looking well dressed Marine tell me the truth?

Source: Reading Newspaper at the Big Boy Restaurant. Marine walked in. Saw the news and started crying out loud. "We are getting a beating by a bunch of Rag Tag Insurgents with Basic weapons"!!! "We are Getting Beat!!" With that said he went to his knees and cried his eyes out as he beat the floor with his fist. All of us turned away as if we didnt see the Marine crying his eyes out. The owner of the restaurant ( A man from Iraq ) walked up and said "Your breakfast is on me" and the Marine looked up and then cried harder. The owner said to the cook....."Fix him a crow sandwich".....On the house!! This happened at the Big Boy restaurant in Mt Clemens Michigan.
Answer: The real story: President Bush announced on Friday that the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration, will be awarded posthumously to Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham. In April 2004, Dunham was leading a patrol in an Iraqi town near the Syrian border when the patrol stopped a convoy of cars leaving the scene of an attack on a Marine convoy, according to military and media accounts of the action. An occupant of one of the cars attacked Dunham and the two fought hand to hand. As they fought, Dunham yelled to fellow Marines, "No, no watch his hand." The attacker then dropped a grenade and Dunham hurled himself on top of it, using his helmet to try to blunt the force of the blast. Still, Dunham was critically wounded in the explosion and died eight days later at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. "As long as we have Marines like Corporal Dunham, America will never fear for her liberty," Bush said Friday as he announced that Dunham would receive the award. Bush spoke at the dedication of the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Virginia. (Watch announcement of award at museum -- 1:27) "His was a selfless act of courage to save his fellow Marines," Sgt. Maj. Daniel A. Huff of the 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, was quoted as saying in Marine Corps News that April. "He knew what he was doing," Lance Cpl. Jason A. Sanders, 21, of McAllester, Oklahoma, who was in Dunham's company, was quoted as saying by Marine Corps News. "He wanted to save Marines' lives from that grenade." In various media accounts, fellow Marines told how Dunham had extended his enlistment shortly before he died so he could help his comrades. "We told him he was crazy for coming out here," Lance Cpl. Mark E. Dean, 22, from Owasso, Oklahoma, said in Marine Corps News. "He decided to come out here and fight with us. All he wanted was to make sure his boys made it back home." "He loved his country, believed in his mission, and wanted to stay with his fellow Marines and see the job through," Vice President Dick Cheney said when speaking of Dunham's heroism at a Disabled American Veterans conference in July 2004. The Scio, New York, native would have been 25 years old on Friday. In a letter urging Bush to honor Dunham with the Medal of Honor, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, called the Marine's actions "an act of unbelievable bravery and selflessness." Dunham's story was told in the book "The Gift of Valor," written by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Phillips. Dunham will be the second American to receive the Medal of Honor from service in Iraq. My only answer as to why the Marines get the toughest jobs is because the average Leatherneck is a much better fighter. He has far more guts, courage, and better officers... These boys out here have a pride in the Marine Corps and will fight to the end no matter what the cost. 2nd Lt. Richard C. Kennard, Peleliu, World War II I can't say enough about the two Marine divisions. If I use words like 'brilliant,' it would really be an under description of the absolutely superb job that they did in breaching the so-called 'impenetrable barrier.' It was a classic- absolutely classic- military breaching of a very very tough minefield, barbed wire, fire trenches-type barrier. Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, U. S. Army Commander, Operation Desert Storm, February 1991 There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion. Gen. William Thornson, U.S. Army Why in hell can't the Army do it if the Marines can. They are the same kind of men; why can't they be like Marines. Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing, USA; 12 February 1918 There was always talk of espirit de corps, of being gung ho, and that must have been a part of it. Better, tougher training, more marksmanship on the firing range, the instant obedience to orders seared into men in boot camp. James Brady, columnist, novelist, press secretary to President Reagan, television personality and Marine The Marine Corps has just been called by the New York Times, 'The elite of this country.' I think it is the elite of the world. Admiral William Halsey, U.S. Navy The American Marines have it [pride], and benefit from it. They are tough, cocky, sure of themselves and their buddies. They can fight and they know it. General Mark Clark, U.S. Army

is marine higher than army?

Answer: The Army's main job is to fight land wars. The Army is the largest branch of the US military. General Norman Schwarzkopf, the overall US commander of the US desert storm operation against Iraq. He declared that the war could not be won without the Army. Events proved him correct, but the Marines also did well against the Iraqis. The Marines' main job is to be a mobile land force in short - sharp engagements, usually with an element of insertion into a fighting situation. The Marines are also used for guarding US embassies and other ceremonial duties.
