How will he be Sainted? I tried to figure out what he did that would differentiate him and allow him to be raised onto the inevitable pedestal.

The only thing I could really think of was that he was Reagan's VP and the first Gulf War, and as VP he was pretty invisible to the American public and as far as the war, General Schwarzkopf was the 'star'.

It will be interesting to see how they add to his 'resume' to make him seem larger than life.

I just hope he passes peacefully.
