Talk:Michael Boorda

message: The entire article has mostly the same text as the Arlington Cemetery info (http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/borda.htm).  Recommend revision.

thread_title: Same text

message: The section on his suicide leaves much to be desired. I felt the first part was reasonably NPOV but was not properly cited. The second part, however, is egregiously POV, stating as fact that the Clinton administration was "attacking" the Navy. It reeks of politicized defensiveness. This needs to be cited and rewritten. 
Another suggestion is that something should be in there about his tenure as CNO, not in the context of his suicide. --Dhartung | Talk 04:04, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "The Admiral was a poser, pure and simple"…how could anyone possibly believe that given the evidence indicating that he made an honest mistake? This sounds like something some kind of military-worshiping bootlicker who thinks "the troops defend our freedom" would write. (Oops, violated WP:PA, but then, so did the OP, if one broadens the policy to apply not only to editors. And, um, I bet most soldiers are nice people who have only the best intentions. At least the ones in my family were.)—GreenWeasel11 (talk) 03:34, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Suicide

message: I removed the old section titled "Boorda's awards were proper." I'm not sure that whoever at the anon IP that posted the story even read what they posted. It clearly states in that article on arlingtoncemetery.net that the Board for Correction of Naval Records had to rule on the case regardless of what Zumwalt wrote. They ruled in 1999 on a petition filed by one of Boorda's sons in 1998 and the link is in the article. Here is the link to the ruling just in case: Ruling by BCNR on Boorda. Please stop the vandalism on this. I appreciate the fact that someone added his Arlington headstone as that made a nice addition, although I thumbed it and added a caption for better readability, but do NOT re-add anything stating that the V devices were authorized.

replies: text: Not being in the know: Would Adm. Zumwalt authorize the 'V's and later write the letter because of knowing of some action Adm. Boorda was part of but which was/is highly classified and would the Navy later do the public review as if that hypothetical classifed action never happened ? Just trying to make sense of the known facts as they do not seem to make much sense otherwise. JB. --92.195.26.168 (talk) 23:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of section

message: Edited to add the name of the female SNA involved, with whom I attended Navy flight training.  Someone who's good at this really ought to research and create a page on her--it would be quite a story, especially if it included a real timeline of events, her demands on the Navy, etc.   USNPilot (talk) 03:45, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added a name 

message: While suicides get no protection under WP:BLP, a year is certainly long enuf to tolerate the failure to of all comers respond to an unsupported-attribution tag, and i've removed

The same vagueness that was explicitly noted by the tag envelops as well the matter of degree, and  "prompted" can never be stated as fact since the only potentially authoritative info -- a statement by him -- can never be distinguished from from a self-serving falsehood.--Jerzy•t 00:04, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
