* Robert Griffin III

* Norman Schwarzkopf. Although born in [[Joisey|New Jersey]], he spent much of his youth in [[Useful Notes/Iran|Iran]], where his father, Norman Schwarzkopf, Sr., was a senior military advisor to the Iranian government and the CIA.<ref>One of the elder Schwarzkopf's last acts in Tehran was assisting the CIA and [[MI 6]] in Operation Ajax--a.k.a. the coup that removed the democratically-elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh and replaced him with the absolute rule of the Shah--which ended up biting the United States in the ass mightily when the Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah in 1979. This emboldened Saddam Hussein, so he started the [[Iran-Iraq War]]; his losses in that war led to his invasion of Kuwait, which led to [[Gulf War|the very war that the younger Schwarzkopf had to fight]].
