[edit] WP:MILHIST Assessment

A bit longer than your average Start-class article, and with a picture, infobox, and other relevant extras. But the text reads as the sort of thing you'd hear on History Channel - somewhat dramatized. You begin with saying how heroic and selfless he is, move on to his origins as an all-American athletic guy from a little town in North Carolina, then move on by discussing how he selflessly snuck into the military, lying about his age so that he could serve his country. Now, all of this may be true, but it reads like the kind of idealistic soldier invented by a novelist or something. Tone it down a bit, make the POV a bit more neutral. Then we can push it up to B-class. LordAmeth 09:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

The guy jumped on a grenade to save his fellow Marines. If you can find a neutral, undramatic way to portray that sort of thing...--96.241.24.100 (talk) 00:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Army service

The article should mention his education, civilian life, and Army[1] service, too. Rklawton (talk) 22:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

DIdn't that CNN article say that Marine Corps moved him to support roles when they discovered his true age from his letters to his sweetheart?194.197.79.18 (talk) 06:34, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
