"One of the trail blazers in that area is General Fred Franks, best known as commander of VII Corps during Operation Desert Storm"
Have you read Schwartzkopf's auto biography? While not actually ripping up Franks, he did not exactly give him a ringing endorsement for his actions during the first Gulf War.
