Instead of withholding their opinions out of respect, a number of Twitter users immediately and viciously attacked American military legend Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf after it was reported he had died at age 78.

"Burn in hell, Norman Schwarzkopf, you baby killing a**hole," one Twitter user wrote.

"Eat sh*t in Hell for eternity, Schwarzkopf," another one posted.
