Discussion[edit]

Please edit his hometown. He is from Bayonne, N.J. and has stated multiple times and is cited in many, many credible news stories as a native of Bayonne. Thanks. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, from Bayonne, New Jersey SOURCE: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/03/world/americas/new-military-chief-faces-economic-challenges.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.7.204.9 (talk) 20:56, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So Dempsey turned 18 in 1970, at the height of the biggest war of his lifetime, and he wanted to be a professional soldier, so he spent 1970 to 1974 away from Vietnam and in a military academy? Good career move for him, but it left draftees such as myself to learn all the lessons of the biggest war of his lifetime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.20.187 (talk) 13:36, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article Iraq War is where "operation iraqi freedom" redirects to. As the latter is a propaganda term it should be avoided. Añoranza 04:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you stating operation names should not be used on Wikipedia? --zero faults |sockpuppets| 04:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its unencyclopedic to use propaganda riddled Neo-Con buzz words.

Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) is the military name of the operation. Using the logic stated above, we must change Desert Storm/Shield, Operation Enduring Freedom, and any other military operation name on Wikipedia to titles that meet your approval. I don't like the title of the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009," but that's the name of the act. I'm personally fine with calling it the 'Iraq War' since it falls within the common vernacular, but arguments like the one levied above are disingenuous and not helpful to the dialogue here.

LTG Sanchez Info[edit]

The LTG Sanchez seems like an important part in the Dempsey story, but perhaps it should be summarized in a sentence or two? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.3.86.104 (talk) 03:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]


BIG BIG BIG ISSUE!!! FIX FIX FIX

Dempsey is NOT in IRAQ anymore...

He is the Deputy Commander, USCENTCOM (US CENTRAL COMMAND) at MACDILL AFB, FL. This entire page needs fixing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.31.19.50 (talk) 18:29, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign Language[edit]

Is it really necessary to say that he speaks French in its own section entitled "Foreign Languages?" Frankly I don't see why we even need to list that he speaks French since that is not that uncommon of an ability and it isn't something directly related to his work as near as I can tell. This piece of trivial doesn't really fit in to the existing prose so I have removed it for now. If someone really wants to put it back in the article, try to have a reference with it too.

Full General[edit]

I assume the Senate never got around to confirming his promotion to General? GoodDay (talk) 20:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Senate did confirm him for 4 stars. It is my understanding that he can not pin that on until he has a "4 star" position. The original plan was for him to head to Europe/Nato and command the 7th army. With ADM Fallon leaving CentCom, Dempsey as the Deputy Commander has to stay on until Petraeus takes over. Gen. Petraeus will not be able to take over until after the surge is complete and assessed. That might not be until September or October. It is unknown whether the post of commander of the 7th army will left open for that long. In that case, Dempsey would be assigned to another "4 star" position and he could pin the 4th star at that time.Claffey27 (talk) 20:37, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was also answered here.. --GrummelJS (talk) 10:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well folks, has he been promoted yet? GoodDay (talk) 23:40, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

JCS Chairman[edit]

It would seem Dempsey is the front runner to become the next chairman. Jigen III (talk) 13:16, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AP is now reporting (based on "AP sources") that Dempsey will be nominated as CJCOS: http://yhoo.it/mKXggF Jwschind (talk) 21:59, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
