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)
thread_title:  planning guidance 

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  DADT Information 

message: If someone wants to expand the article here are some references that talk about General Amos "firing" two marine major generals over a taliban attack on camp Bastion that resulted in 2 casualties and 8 injured marines as well as 6 destroyed harriers.Washington Post article, New York Times article.

replies: text: WP:UNDUE, but if these complaints become something bigger, ending Amos' career or derailing the careers of close subordinates, it might deserve mention.  EricSerge (talk) 00:36, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gen Amos "fires" two marine major generals 

message: Under Nickname, please change "Blue Falcon Actual" to "Tamer" because "Blue Falcon Actual" is a pejorative that was presumably added by a vandal.  "Tamer" is Gen. Amos' call sign, easily verifiable through a number of sources via Google.  Thank you. Den1995 (talk) 02:26, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Can we get a reliable source for the callsign or nickname? I have removed it as a precaution due to the vandalism shown by the facebook post.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 07:30, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Allegedly lied to Congress 

message: I checked the sources (I had to update one's URL) and I can't find anything affirming that Gen. Amos worked with Congress to recognize these Marines, only that he recognized their contributions in a speech he gave. However, there are some indications that this did in fact happen (e.g. one Marine's widow saying he'd done more than all previous commandants combined). Please provide the actual quote. Also, this section includes several (admittedly uncontroversial) opinions WP:ASSERT For example, "bringing much deserved recognition to these American patriots" should probably be replaced with something like "recognizing the Montford Point Marines."VirgilGilmour (talk) 23:23, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
