I hate war. Absolutely, I hate war.

Norman Schwarzkopf

Do what is right, not what you think the high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good.

Look Thinking Want
Ninety-nine percent of leadership failures are failures of character.
NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF

Character Failure Leadership
I have seen competent leaders who stood in front of a platoon and all they saw was a platoon. But great leaders stand in front of a platoon and see it as 44 individuals, each of whom has aspirations, each of who wants to live, each of whom wants to do good.
NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF

Leadership Want
To be an effective leader, you have to have a manipulative streak – you have to figure out the people working for you and give each tasks that will take advantage of his strength.

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.

It’s the sense of duty that keeps you going sometimes when things get very, very rough. Somebody’s got to do it. And if you don’t, who will?
NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF

Duty Rough
I am quite confident that in the foreseeable future armed conflict will not take the form of huge land armies facing each other across extended battle lines, as they did in World War I and World War II or, for that matter, as they would have if NATO had faced the Warsaw Pact on the field of battle.
