RIP to a hero..

I actually saw this here before my CNN or USA today updates...

[helosailor]

Just heard about it. RIP, Sir.
He was a master tactician that I'd put up against any of the greats. Also, from what I understand, a real "soldier's soldier".

[Ted]

RIP Stormin' Norman.

I got to meet him when I was a no striper airman. He had a great speech he gave to our dining out. Him and General Horner were speakers that night.

R.I.P. to an absolutely brilliant man.

A Sad day, we just lost our last real General. All of the rest are nothing but politicians in uniform. RIP Sir it was an honor fighting with you

Of course CNN has a small article about him and a large one about the "Year 2012 in Pictures". MJ dies, there is way more coverage and it goes on for weeks. This will be quiet by Sunday.
