Norman Schwarzkopf

Think about it—Norman Schwarzkopf in the 'Greatest U.S. Generals of All Time' league is like throwing a no-nonsense, desert storm in a teacup. The man didn't just command; he was a walking, talking shock and awe campaign. Fans? Oh, they oscillate between worshipping his strategic prowess and trying to mimic that iconic, steely gaze in mirror selfies. Debating his rank? It's like trying to explain why your grandma's apple pie beats a store-bought one—futile and somewhat heartwarming.
