removed tag[edit]

A tag said that more citations are needed, but with 19 in a short article, I have to disagree. They are pretty good refs too, a TIME front cover story, Chicago Tribune etc. And they go into detail. They could be spread around a bit, but adding refs for that reason strikes me as editing for appearances rather than for substance. If somebody has a specific request of what needs to be referenced please let us know here.

In general I don't like tags. They clog up the page and uglify it. These tags are about the only way on Wikipedia that you can express your personal opinion on an article page - and what an opinion! It comes off as "this page is garbage," when clearly this one is not. Perhaps the best advice is WP:Sofixit. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 22:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First openly gay man in the military.[edit]

The statement is not true. The first openly gay man in the American military was present during the revolutionary war. See Friedrich Wilhelm von Stuben. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6010:7C05:6AF:E588:4873:749D:719A (talk) 07:52, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
