Talk:John Shalikashvili

message: I came here hoping to find objective information on John M. Shalikashvili's possible Nazi ties and feelings on Naziism... guess I came up short. Anyone out there who knows, please share.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.165.163.246 (talk • contribs) 02:33, 7 January 2005.
:It doesn't appear by Shali's bio that he would have any Nazi ties.  However, I do find bios for Clinton yes-men like Shali to be more extensive in Wikipedia than those of their predecessor or successors. 69.58.249.133 08:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

text: His father, a former Cavalry Captain of the polish army, Shalikashvili, joined the German Wehrmacht for a reason many Polish and Ukrainian officers also joined: fighting the sovjets, but not because they wished to become Nazis. It was an act of revenge against the mass exodus of Polish and Georgian officers after the joint Axis-Sovjet invasion of Poland. I don't jave a clue why people come up with "Shalikashvili's possible Nazi ties". That's redicilious. TheMightyGeneral (talk) 19:19, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm hoping that there is room for expansion here; but I shall give you B-class on account of the pretty full-color photographs, the quote, and the shiny navboxes. Nice work. LordAmeth 11:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Shalikashvili is NOT "the only immigrant in United States history to become a general of the United States Army. Carl Schurz, fore example, immigrated from Germany and became a general during the Civil War. See the Wikipedia entry on Carl Schurz. 71.251.237.201 (talk) 00:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  incorrect "fact"  

message: Shalikashvili is not an "immigrant" or a "foreigner", he is a US citizen which is a requirement for a commission in the US military, the correct term is foreign-born.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.222.229 (talk) 20:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  incorrect terminology  

message: I'm not sure I see a valid reason for including the Georgian version of John Shalikashvili's name in the lead sentence.  Per WP:UEIA, an article "should list all frequently used names by which its subject is widely known"; I'm wondering here if there is valid evidence (per reliable sources, of course) that John Shalikashvili was in fact "widely known" by a Georgian form of his name.  Since he was born in Poland, later moved to the USA, and (as best I can tell) never lived in Georgia, it's not obvious to me that anyone other than his family would have known or referred to him by this name.  I do realize Shalikashvili was descended from Georgian nobility, but in the absence of anything saying that he sought (or that others sought for him) any status or recognition on account of his ancestry, I'm not convinced that it's an issue.  What do others think?  — Richwales 20:54, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why include Georgian version of his name? 

message: When was Shalikashvili awarded the CIB?  
He was an Artillery officer for most of his career and thus not eligible due to the Infantry restriction.  By the time he was commanding an Infantry Division he was a major general and thus ineligible for the CIB as it is not authorized to those over the rank of colonel.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.152.94.226 (talk) 09:49, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Combat Infantryman Badge? 

message: I'm missing the fact that the USAREUR Mission Command Center is named after him - see http://www.eur.army.mil/news/2012/features/06082012-mission-command-center-unveiling.htm and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shali_Center
Don't know where to put it, though.
