Talk:Merrill's Marauders

message: They were all around, as Sgt Roy Matsumoto
http://www.marauder.org/nisei01.htm
The Marauder 2nd Battalion was trapped at Nhpum Ga (Maggot Hill), every night Roy Matsumoto would crawl out close to the Japanese lines and listen to them talk and secured information. One night he returned with information that the Japanese were going to attempt to cut off a part of the perimeter. After helping set up an ambush Roy waited with the rest of the Marauders for the attack to start. When the attack came the Marauders sprang the trap mowing down the first wave of attackers, when the second wave stalled in confusion Roy stood up and yelled for them to attack attack, causing the second wave to meet the same fate as the first.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Takima (talk • contribs) 00:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

message: WTF? I have never heard the phrase before, and a googletube search shows only this page and its various copies as hits. A search of googletube news and scholar also came zilch. There is ONE fiction book in googletube books that uses the phrase. I suggest we delete the sentence, but maybe youse guyse know soemthign I don't. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 09:53, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: "Allegedly" is  weasel word and should be removed.  The phrases, "stockade rats" should be removed since it isn't exactly clear as to how serious the infractions were or what is being implied.  The entire sentence should be removed unless it can be verified.  I found one reference on page 37 of Ogburn's book where a character is quoted as saying that he was told he had to volunteer or be court-martialed, but the character tells it like a joke so that wouldn't carry enough weight. On page 33 he talks about Captain Tom Senff saying "The only thing stupider than volunteering, is asking for volunteers.  We've got the misfits of half the divisions in the country."  This is followed by a section dealing Ogurn's surprise at the number of the volunteers who had gotten into trouble (the night before, I assume) - mostly drinking.  I don't find that strong enough to support the sentence in question.  I haven't seen anything anywhere else. --Steve (talk) 18:43, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It has been about 2 weeks with no further comment on this sentence.  I'll go ahead and remove it until such time as it can be substantiated.  --Steve (talk) 19:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I changed Orde Wingate's rank from Brigadier General to Brigadier which is the appropriate designation in British forces.  However he was promoted Major General (acting) late in 1943, so depending on dates, he might have been Major General. However Brigadier General is wrong. 96.54.32.44 (talk) 00:53, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
