I didn't see anything really noteworthy here. He seems to be continuing down existing paths with a lot of studies due next year. Hcobb (talk) 21:00, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
DADT Information
Okay, we now have an edit war. What do you suggest we do about it? BTW, sorry about your wife’s health problems and thanks for your service. I’m a Navy veteran of the Vietnam War. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lahaun (talk • contribs) 17:35, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
- Just put it in the body. It's not that complicated. It's not appropriate for the lead at all, which has been my only objection. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 17:46, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
- I agree with Lahaun that the material is appropriate for the article. I agree with Bahamut that the lead might be the best place for it. I don't agree that the appropriate action to take when one finds material that is appropriate for the article but not in the right place is to delete the information. We should all strive to improve the article. I don't think that it is better with the material absent than it is with it incorrectly placed. If you have a clear idea of where the material would better be placed, you should place it there. Sterrettc (talk) 19:38, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
If you're not happy, with the reformatting, please explain why here, without undoing it.Lahaun (talk) 23:01, 11 December 2010 (UTC) Regarding 'born again Christian': I do not see the cited material use that terminology. Neither do I see General Amos using that terminology in the quote contained in the cited material. While there is nothing necessarily wrong with the terminology itself (all Christians are 'born again in Christ), it seems it is most often used by non-Christians to deride and dismiss Christians. I do not see where General Amos's religion has anything to do with his service as Commandant - the reason he has an article. If there is some connection with 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' it should be made clear. Otherwise, I think it violates NPOV and I do not see any reason for it here.
