Herbert Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., nicknamed “Stormin’ Norman” and “The Bear” was a United States Army general who led all coalition forces in the Gulf War. He gained a reputation as a commander who led from the front and was willing to risk his own life for his troops. He retired shortly after the end of the war and was involved in philanthropy and politics until his death in 2012.
