To summarize my changes:

  1. Redirected "Warrior Ethos" to "US Soldier's Creed"; merged the two articles to reduce confusion.
  2. Removed "entitled the 'Warrior Ethos'" - It is entitled the US Soldier's Creed. The "Warrior Ethos" is contained in the Creed.
  3. Removed the "dog-tag" reference - unnecessary; trite. It is now an external link.
  4. Moved "controversial" remark to end of paragraph, referenced cited article. Should this even be here?
  5. Formatted the second stanza (Warrior Ethos) in similar fashion to the way it is primarily displayed.
  6. Added merged "Warrior Ethos" copy.
  7. Added a reference to age of previous version.

I do not know what the Washington Post reference references.

I removed the quote saying "Soldier are no longer allowed to yell "Hooah!" it is inaccurate due to the fact that we are encouraged to do just that. 214.13.162.2 11:30, 24 July 2007 (UTC) Ski 20070724

[edit] The "Hooah conclusion".

Actually, I would disagree with that because as a recent graduate of AIT. We, had various persons from different Basic Training locations that converged for our daily reiteration of the creed. I will say that at my Basic Training company, the instructors would tell us theres "No Hooah" . Though with the influx of soldiers from Fort Benning they were encouraged to say Hooah, as even the majority of the instructors at my AIT told us there is no "Hooah" in The Soldiers Creed, though the defiant soldiers would usually do so out of respect for the way THEIR Drill Sergeants had taught them. I think this also happened with soldiers from Fort Knox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.233.179 (talk) 23:55, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
