Very sad news.
RIP. Respect to a great man
He was a four-star general who became the first Black U.S. secretary of state and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.I'm not American, I guess I don't know enough about him. What made him great?

Remember back in the Gulf War, when the US forces pushed the Republican Guard back to the Iraqi borders and our of Kuwait? Then they didn't pursue into Iraq, it wasn't part of the mission. That was largely Powell and Schwarzkopf who developed that.
And he was also a well respected and liked Secretary of State.
That is just amazing.During his second tour in Vietnam he was decorated for bravery after he survived a helicopter crash and single-handedly rescued three others, including his division commander from the burning wreckage.
He was a General that might have made a good US President. But it seems like he was another Cincinnatus. A good man, and an intelligent one.
