Undue weight seen in discussion of mutilation incident

I'm thinking seriously about deleting this incident as is presently written in the article. I found that the article discussion about mutilation of war dead has three problems. First it is unreferenced. Second, as a tiny snippet from minor, even trivial bit of the story, it shows undue weight. Third, it creates a slanted point of view about the book since it entirely neglects both Sledge's introspection and his discussion with an officer about moral implications of mutilation of the dead. Sledge's book is a very deep but often understated introspective about young men just out of childhood being trapped in warfare, not a shoot-em-up. So the article doesn't need to read like a gee-whiz teaser for a movie. Other opinions?Trilobitealive (talk) 18:58, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
