Talk:George Kenney

message: There is a common error in this article in the sentence "Kenney received the four stars of a full general...".  There is no such rank as "full general," refering to pay grade O-10, nor the similar error of "full colonel," refering to pay grade O-6. A four-star general's rank is simply "general." Suggested rewording: "Kenney was promoted to general on..." Frankwomble 12:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Military general officer ranks 

message: Am I the only one who thinks that the section relating to WW 2 is somewhat thin? From general knowledge, I seem to remember that Kenney was involved in many major operations as well as what some might consider internal military political situations as the chief Army Air Force Commander on MacArthur's staff. I don't have any references on hand, but it would improve the article to add some referenced WW 2 material to the article. --TGC55 (talk) 23:17, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  WW2 section thin? 

message: According to Wikipedia page on Allied Crimes of War (" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_war_crimes#cite_note-48 ", this person ordered the killing of Japanese survivors:
On 4 March 1943, during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, General George Kenney ordered Allied patrol boats and aircraft to attack Japanese rescue vessels, as well as the survivors from the sunken vessels on life rafts and swimming or floating in the sea. This was later justified on the grounds that rescued servicemen would have been rapidly landed at their military destination and promptly returned to active service.[48] These orders violated the Hague Convention of 1907, which banned the killing of shipwreck survivors under any circumstances.[49], and "justified" his orders for military "reason".  this is not mentioned in the article at all, which constitutes a selective viewpoint.  The article must mention this grave matter.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.100.180.20 (talk) 23:03, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not mentioned in source 48 either. Have you got a reliable source to back up the claim? Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:44, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not a single mention of his order to kill survivors from sinking vessels during the Battle of the Bismark Sea?
