[edit] Recent additions

The last few additions added by the anon user while appearing like vandalism are actually not. They do not conform to MoS and are not sourced as they were added but I know they are coming from David Halberstam's The Coldest Winter. I was actually going to update this page as it is way to glowing about Almond without mentioning some of his many flaws like being MacArthur's lackey and almost getting the 1st Marine Division (not to mention X Corps) wiped off the map due to arrogance and recklessness in the winter of 1950. I have just not gotten around to it yet.--07:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

This article is hardly "glowing" about Almond, indeed it reeks of hostile POV. It should be revised to present the facts and let them speak for themselves. 12.214.62.215 (talk) 01:44, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Given that Edward Almond wasn't the greatest general in the history of the U. S. Army, the statements against him in this article need more citations to back them up at the very least. Cranston Lamont (talk) 21:14, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
