message: I've just thrown a bunch of fact tags in this article. I don't doubt that anything in here is true, but it really needs some in-text citations, particluarly for some of the statements about how Gen. Hillier is generally percieved and quotes attributed to him. This is a biography of a living person: everything needs to be sourced!

message: Project Hero is not administered by the government of Canada, the individual universities choose their contributions and offer it of their own accord. They only contact VAC for verification of the student's status. Just thought I should clarify the facts. 199.43.148.227 (talk) 19:29, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

message: A user deleted the entry on Hillier's comments on the decade of darkness. They are relevant both in the criticism it received and in the General's description of the treatment of the military.  If it doesn't belong on the Canadian Forces or Liberal Party of Canada pages, it certainly belongs on Hillier's own page. JOttawa16 (talk) 22:19, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Multiple discussions have deemed decade of darkness to be too POV to include on Wikipedia. Please just drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. --JDDJS (talk) 23:11, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Since when has it ever been determined that some facts are not good enough for inclusion on Wikipedia?  The only discussions I've been a part of are whether the decade of darkness deserves its own page or whether it belongs on Jean Chretien's Wiki page.  This was Hillier's quote about his department's experience in the 1990s. Why is his account being discredited?JOttawa16 (talk) 18:32, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't include everything someone says in their article. It's a trivia piece and very POV. JDDJS (talk) 21:46, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. It was clearly a major part of Hillier's career that he writes about in his autobiography.  The Liberal government's substantial underfunding of the Canadian Forces shaped Hillier's leadership viewpoint; in fact, he only agreed to take the job of CDS if the Liberal government made him certain guarantees.  This fits into his quote upon being sworn in that "you can't give our men and women too much, but you can give them too little.  Remember them in your budgets."  Apparently, this quote is relevant enough, but Hillier's view on the decade of darkness isn't?JOttawa16 (talk) 14:08, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
