I started the entry on David Webster, the South African anthropologist, and therefore created the disambiguation page for the name David Webster as well as the new entry for David Kenyon Webster, the US journalist. Hope this is to everyone's satisfaction. --Hs282 08:41, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]


NPOV

[edit]

"Webster was not a "gung-ho" GI. He hated the army. He was admittedly one of the worst marksmen in his company. He rarely volunteered for dangerous patrols. He had little ambition for promotion, finishing after 3 years with the rank of PFC. With his education and influential family, Webster could have been an officer stateside. But he wanted to be a "grunt", to see and document the war from a foxhole. He did love his fellow soldiers."

The above paragraph seems to be POV. Please cite sources. I have placed the appropriate tag. --† Ðy§ep§ion † Speak your mind 08:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph is in line with Ambrose's book, though it's a summary of several descriptions. --Xombie 03:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bit confusing sentence

[edit]

"All the veterans of Normandy went home first except for Webster." I found this sentence a bit confusing, I think it needs clarificiation. Is it referring to the end of the war?

He didn't have enough points to go home. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.2.125 (talk) 11:49, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
