Neutrality

The sentence that itches me is this one:

" This day marks a special day in Hmong/Mong history because it was the first time that the United States Government publicly recognized the deeds of these brave soldiers who were so loyal to the United States and its ideals of freedom. "

It tends to tell readers what to think about this war, that it was necessarily a good thing. This text should only redirect readers to the Secret War article, where editors can elaborate on the subject. I would delete that last sentence. Colocho 03:00, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tried to re-word the sentence. --MarsRover 04:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Much of this article is a soapbox about the Secret War, etc, rather than about the memorial itself. Other parts are very repetitive. It needs an overhaul! Mobi Ditch (talk) 23:15, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Colocho and MarsRover: Can you point out a WP policy that allows you to alter a quotation because it doesn't suit you?Georgejdorner (talk) 21:58, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Humm... did you bother to look at what we changed 12 years ago? It wasn't a quotation. And the relative policy is WP:PEACOCK. --MarsRover (talk) 07:48, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
