Talk:Guy Gabaldon

message: At this point, the article is a stub.  Adding images overwhelm the short article.  Once the article is expanded, addition of images will render ok.  I removed this image — :Image:Navycross.jpg — as it added less to the article than the current image of Gabaldon.  — ERcheck (talk) 03:39, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

:Travesty: I do not know the process but it is sad that a former president can become a Noble laureate, that involves such a controversial issue, but a man that does such a great thing can not receive due recognition while alive, nor will the powers to be concede after his death, that his acts (more than one) were far above the call of duty and no doubt saved countless lives on both sides.

replies: text: I can tell you that most Navy/Marines consider the Navy Cross more of decoration than the MoH.  I'd certainly rather have it than the MoH.  His exploits were very important - too bad at Iwo Jima little of that worked, resulting in a terrible slaughter of the Japs in a hopeless cause.HammerFilmFan (talk) 02:20, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Is there a particular reason why the word adopted is adopted is put in quotations? 
At the outbreak of World War II the Nakanos, his "adopted" family, were sent to a relocation camp in Arizona.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.106.237.199 (talk) 05:45, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Unlike the actor who portrayed him in Hell to Eternity his silhouette would not have given him away.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.30.202.57 (talk) 05:52, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The article states that Guy Gabaldon was an outspoken member of "right wing organizations" but never mentions any political affiliation except for the Republican Party. I'd like to see those other organizations named.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by KipAllen (talk • contribs) 16:14, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

message: The book One Marine's War: A Combat Interpreter's Quest for Mercy in the Pacific by Meehl, Gerald A., was published in 2012 by the Naval Institute Press which is a highly reputable publisher.  This makes this book likely the best reference source used in the article.  The book also presents eyewitness accounts of Gabaldon from other Marines who knew him and saw him during the Battle of Saipan.  Many, if not most, of the other sources rely almost exclusively on Gabaldon himself as their single source of information.  If multiple witnesses, recorded in a reliable source, refute some of Gabaldon's claims, it wouldn't be the first time that a military veteran has had their self-publicized exploits called into question.  Suppressing one side of a story does not do good service to all the brave, honorable Marines and Soldiers who served on Saipan.  In fact, removing eyewitness accounts from other Marines effectively calls them liars or discounts their service.  However, the biggest casualty is the truth, which usually lies somewhere in the middle.  Instead of trying to censor one side of the story, how about finding a way to incorporate it more smoothly into the article? 173.79.161.99 (talk) 22:17, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
