Well, 'Shock and Awe' was part of the 2003 Iraq campaign under Rumsfeld/Powell - when all those Tomohawks were launched into Iraq (I was there for that one - an amazing, or truly awful, sight ... depending on which end you were at).
Whereas, Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf was in charge of the '90-91 Desert Shield/Desert Storm campaign (didn't quite make it to that one - my rotation got cancelled a few days before we were due to go on account of how quickly it was over!).

Your Corona Australis is not bad at all ... and definitely not as messed up (come on, you know there's another term we'd all like to use there) as the Middle East.
