- His father was Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf who was the first Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police and narrated the popular 1930s radio series "Gangbusters" that was broadcast over CBS on Wednesday evenings. Each episode opened with the sounds of marching feet, gunshots, sirens and screeching brakes, followed by a strident voice saying, "Calling the police! Calling the G-men! Calling all Americans to war on the underworld!" Such was the cultural impact of the series that it gave rise to the expression, "coming on like gangbusters," as in anything having unusual force with expeditious consequences. The programs were based on factual incidents and closed with various descriptions of wanted criminals; many of whom were apprehended due to avid listener participation.
- As head of the New Jersey State Police, his father Col. Herbert Norman Schwarzkopf arrested Bruno Richard Hauptmann in 1934 and oversaw his conviction (1935) and execution (1936) for the infamous kidnap-murder of the baby of American hero Charles A. Lindbergh.
- Attended Valley Forge Military Academy before appointment to West Point.
- Given an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II (1991).
- [Interview in 2003] Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion.
- As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that, he's a great military man, I want you to know that.
- The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.
