After the war, I was to find out that John had been shielding me from an extraordinary emotional outburst from General Schwarzkopf during his morning update. He had—I have gathered from later reports—hit the ceiling. He had expected a VII Corps cavalry charge to the Republican Guards, and when he didn’t get it, he blew up into one of his well-publicized rages. Since John Yeosock had much more experience with large armored maneuvers than Schwarzkopf, he knew that the CINC’s expectations were illusory. And so he did what many commanders do—he absorbed the blow and shielded his subordinates. He toned down the CINC’s blowup to “concerns” when we talked that morning. Yeosock did that a lot both before and during the war for both VII and XVIII Corps.
