:::Timeshifter was referring to a particular statement from Valentine's work, not to the book as a whole. Zhurlihee, the IP, and V7-sport (who form the "consensus" that V7-sport speaks of) have made a few statements about the credibility (which I also agree is questionable at best) of one of the people that Valentine interviewed (Elton Manzione) and repeatedly implied that this means that the entire work is inaccurate (in spite of the fact that numerous reliable sources, including scholarly sources, feel that it is accurate enough to cite in their own works). Zhurlihee has cited a U.S. military officer who has criticized Valentine's work, and V7-sport has provided the type of low-quality original research you see above regarding something completely unrelated to the work in question. There is no "consensus" here, other than among an IP, a disruptive U.S. foreign policy edit warrior, and a person who has been trying to rewrite this article using nothing but military sources. I'd ask that people not be taken in by the rheotoric and carefully analyze the "evidence" that V7-sport is providing. I think you'll find that the work is easily reliable enough to be cited with attribution for factual assertions.
