Original – Painting depiction of the U.S. 65th Infantry Regiment's bayonet charge against a Chinese division during the Korean War.
Reason
A high-res painting of the US 65th Infantry Regiment depicting bayonet charge against a Chinese division during the Korean War. The 65th is a Puerto Rican unit that saw service with the United States in WWI, WWII, and Korea, and is unique for its time in that the United States Military had a policy of segregating its military units at the time, making it unusual to see ethnic minorities in combat assignments. This image has already graced a featured article and a featured list; I figure the next time it sees the main page should be as a featured picture in its own right. (A word of caution to those with slow connections: the image is a little on the large side, so take that into consideration when you click on it).

  • Copyright comment – The source link appears to be broken. Is there any evidence that the Department of Defence have the right to release Dominic D'Andrea's work under a free license. Was he an employee of the federal government who made this painting as part of his official duties? –P. S. Burton (talk) 01:01, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I'm struggling to see the EV here. It also comes across as a little propaganda-y. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:15, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – Per Josh. Looks like a panel from the war-action comic books I sometimes perused as a kid. Sca (talk) 20:54, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
