[edit] Discussion

There really is a need for a G-2 article (U.S. Military intelligence, or Army intellignece). Perhaps an X-2 also, which is now a subhead of OSS. nobs 17:02, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Validity of "Naked Forgery" by Pat Buchanan

In the article "Naked Forgery", Patrick J. Buchanan claims that a British Agent named Ivar Bryce who worked under William Stephenson was responsible for the "map", that may have lead the United States into war with the Axis Powers during World War II.

Does anyone know if this is true or not? I have no idea whether to take an article written by Pat Buchanon as a valid journalistic truth.

[edit] The Dates?

The dates that you posted from 1896 (his birth) to 1916, dont match the age that you posted in this example, "In 1916 he volunteered for the 101st Regiment of the Canadian Army Engineers. He earned a field promotion to Sergeant in the trenches before he turned 19". If you add the math he is 20 not 19 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.71.48.208 (talk) 23:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

Some sort of silly sex and porn phrase in the beginning when talking about WW1. Probably a missed edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.74.200.208 (talk) 00:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
