Hello there, I wrote the article at first as the "65th Infantry" and then rewrote it as "The 65th Infantry Regiement". As you will notice they are both identical. The only difference is that I hadn't finished the first version. My mistake, however the first version is now a redirect. The 65th Infantry is commonly known in Puerto Rico and all over as "The 65th Infantry Regiment" (La 65 Infanteria) and not as the U.S. 65th Infantry Regiment. My uncle served in the 65th during the Korean War and if he or anybody else were to look up any information in Wikipedia about the 65th they would search under The 65th Infantry Regiment as it is commonly known. That is why I reverted the title back to how it was. I hope you all understand. Tony the Marine

[edit] Credibility and integrity

User: 67.82.148.157, has been very valuable with his contributions to this article, however the constent change in the number of persons who perished in the Korean War, which ended in 1953 is creating a sense of confussion which will lead readers to question the credibility and integrity of the article. The figures of those "killed in action" have been stated as "551", "589", "610" , "619" and now "630" without stating an explaination or reliable source from where these numbers came from. I would appreciate it if User: 67.82.148.157 would state the proper Military source as to the exact number of casualties (KIA) (without including those who my have died after the war was over.) that the 65th Infantry suffered. The total of the Puerto Ricans who perished in the Korean War from the four branches of the U.S. Armed Forces was 756 and their names can be found here.

[edit] Citations

I may be overly anal, however, I take issue with the lack of citations in the article. Most glaring is the uncited quotation attributed to MacArthur. I also think it would be prudent to cite the section on the mass court-martial as it may be controversial or meaningful to many. To that end, I have scattered ^{[citation needed]} tags throughout the article; and I've also updated the assessment section of the project banner to reflect this view.

Ok, with the changes made by User:Marine 69-71, I've updated the Military History rating to B-class. Lordjeff06 00:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
