[edit] Daring "raid on Péraltes camp" ?

Hanneken used deception and betrayal to have Charlemagne Massena Péralte murdered., Péralte was the leader of the Haitian resistance fighters during the U.S. occupation starting in 1915. This article gives a very lopsided view of Herman H. Hanneken, who by many is regarded as a man without valor and not worthy of any honors. 14:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS ARTICLE: "Deed of valor," unless (or even if) a term of military art, is inappropriate

Certainly Hanneken's assassination of Peralte technically occurred in a military context - one of militarily-forced colonialism. The contemporary Haitian reaction to Peralte's death makes clear that less than a majority of objective observers would characterize Hanneken's act as a "deed of valor." As it stands, this article merits NO CONFIDENCE and diminishes a reputed branch of the United States military. 24.44.137.5 (talk) 05:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
