Gen. Schwarzkopf delivered the commencement address to the U.S. Naval Academy’s graduating class of 1991. In doing so, he became the first Army general on active duty to address the graduating class at the U.S. Naval Academy. Speaking before an audience of 25,000 spectators and midshipmen, Gen. Schwarzkopf noted the rivalry between the divisions of the U.S. military, but stressed the unity of the divisions in the performance of the Persian Gulf war. He repeatedly stressed the functions performed by the U.S. Navy in the gulf war, including the U.S. Navy’s response to Iraq’s attack on Kuwait on August 2, 1990, and its launch of missiles on Iraq during the air and ground wars. close
