Talk:George W. Casey Jr.

message: The article only says he grew up 'South of Boston", but Casey was a military brat (child of a career military family). As a former military brat myself, I can attest that chances are good that Gen Casey grew up in many more places than just that. Military families move from base to base a great deal, even today, and during the time of Casey's growing up, they moved even more. 
Lets stop oversimplifying the logistics of a military childhood and get the story straight. It honors former military kids and is more accurate anyway to get those details right.

thread_title:  Where He Grew Up Appears Oversimplified 

message: The photograph seems to show a combat infantry badge
(it is not altogether clear, however) but the list of awards
and decorations doesn't contain it.  Is this an oversight or
am I misinterpreting something ?

Sir, in the photo he is wearing the Expert Infantryman's Badge which is listed under his awards.  They look similar, but the distinguishing feature on the CIB is the wreath.Burrellt 14:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I rated class as start. This article seems to include too much information to be a stub. I'll leave it up to the respestive wikiproject to determine if this is, in fact, true. Please leave a note on my talk page if you think this article is still a stub. --Umalee 23:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Here's the situation, there has been an edit war between myself Signaleer and GummelJS over the preference of two images:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:060605-F-0848C-432.jpg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Casey_Petraeus_2007.jpg
I feel that a third party needs to mediate the issue. -Signaleer 09:19, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The image is now located at :Image:Gen. George Casey examining a wall map, June 5, 2006.jpg.  I increased the contrast and brightness considerably, so it may be a bit easier to see.  --Tom (talk - email) 19:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that, Tom. I meant to do it myself but got sidetracked. No reason they can't both be included now. Kafziel Talk 19:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anybody identify his three latest ribbons (as seen on the photo of Casey in the new blue "Class A"-uniform)? I mean the last four in order of wear except the german gold cross of honour. claudevsq (talk) 15:55, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unidentified ribbons 

message: For some reason someone added the information that General Casey is of Marronite Lebanese ancestry.  I have known him and family for 50+ years and was sure it was not correct.  Two days ago I had lunch with his sister and a Casey cousin and they had no knowledge of this and said that it was incorrect.

thread_title:  Ancestry correction 

message: He doesn't wear the Singaporean medal (see the list in this article) but he wears the German one (see photograph of him).  He is anti-Singaporean?  Racist?  Thinks Singapore is too small?  Likes Germans?  Likes German military power?  Likes German history?  Likes German war history?
Should we try to find sources to address this?  It may be hard to do short of an interrogation with torture. Dellcomputermouse (talk) 16:12, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is he anti-Singaporean? 

message: The last ribbon bar seen at this photo belongs to Polish Army Medal. Gen. Casey was awarded with Gold Medal but he wears ribbon bar without golden ribbon bar device; so it may be confused with the ribbon bar of the Bronze Medal. Fortunately the note of National Defence Minister Radosław Sikorski to Marshal of the Sejm states that the decoration was indeed gold:
Generał George CASEY (...) moją decyzją Nr 183 z dnia 8 listopada 2005 roku – został wyróżniony Złotym Medalem Wojska Polskiego (...) Radosław Sikorski
My translation:
General George CASEY (...) by my decision No. 183 on November 8th, 2005 – has been awarded with Golden Polish Army Medal (...) Radosław Sikorski
