Talk:Walter E. Gaskin

Gaps of information

This article needs to have a segment on him running an operation in Iraq, and, unless I missed it, the article mentions him being awarded for combat service but does not mention when he saw combat.--Wowaconia 17:05, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Stolen valor information overload

I believe that the newly added, lengthy stolen valor section needs to be significantly pared down, especially because it is A) not a real crime and B) a dwarf event compared to his long military career which has not been documented in a super substantive way.

Stolen Valor is a real crime, and writing a fraudulent letter of reference on state letterhead, which is used to further perpetuate a fraud, whereas the letter is submitted to a government agency in another state, is fraud and yet another crime. The lengthy service one performed in the past should not be reason to ignore acts committed in the present. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James3760 (talk • contribs) 20:22, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Sorry I was wrong, it's funny to me that such a thing is a crime... Still, the amount of detail is cumbersome and should be sectioned outside of his post military career if it is such a big deal.

Not to mention much of your editing is pockmarked with bias and he has not been brought up on charges, please move it to a controversy section or I will seek to draw an administrator in here to arbitrate. BolshoiBorzoi (talk) 20:41, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
