General Norman Schwarzkopf, who led the coalition that drove Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in 1992, died in Tampa, FL.

A much-decorated combat soldier in Vietnam, Schwarzkopf was known popularly as “Stormin’ Norman” for a notoriously explosive temper.

He lived in retirement in Tampa, where he had served in his last military assignment as commander-in-chief of U.S. Central Command.
