WP:MILHIST Assessment
[edit]This article needs expansion overall, but especially in the introduction. There have been a lot of American generals throughout history, and this stubby introduction sentence tells us absolutely nothing else about Gen Ralston. When did he live? Which conflicts did he take part in? Why is he significant or notable? All of that, at the absolute minimum, should be in the introduction. LordAmeth 17:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Source
[edit]SuperWIKI, I found the source for one of the picture LemonJuice added with the caption "Lieutenant General Joseph Ralston Flying an F-15 Eagle". The PDF (and others like it) may be the source for other pictures LJ added, with odd captions. I'm guessing they're government work & public domain. I added the PDF as a cite for the first paragraph of "Career" since it contains the particulars of his entire military career. The picture is on page 289.

Gen Joseph Ralston- biased information in section about "alleged conflicts of interest"
[edit]This section gives a newspaper, biased view of Gen Ralston's lobbying. In fact, after retirement, he was a participant in the Pentagon military analyst program and lobbied on behalf of the USA policy for the Pentagon. Ralston is one of three retired four-star generals reported to have declined the offer to become "war czar" "to oversee the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with authority to issue directions to the Pentagon, the State Department and other agencies." In August 2006, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice named Ralston, a former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "to serve as her special envoy for countering the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, a group designated a terrorist organization by the United States. Please see the article at https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Joseph_W._Ralston for better information about General Ralston. AHPCara (talk) 02:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
