[edit]Um, why does this article exist ? I thought you had to have at least SOME references rather than racist jargon. Granted, soldiers were used in testing and they were affected, but one man saying things happened does not proof make. Chicken McFuggits (talk) 02:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Note: I had not heard of this man until reading this article and as such do not dispute any of the facts presented here. This page appears to lack neutrality. There are no citations and the page does not really address any official response to the man's allegations by governmental organizations (or the lack thereof). Perhaps this page should be linked to or incorporated into one of the following pages: Downwinders
The following statement in the article: "These acts have been documented on film (obtainable on the internet), and show that the military used sadistic racial experiments with impunity." I have searched for any such films and cannot find anything but the traditional nuke films. Can anyone give a source for the films? The article also states that Gates was able to join the army at age 9 with parental permission. WOW! That beats the youngest GI by quite a few years, at least after the year 1945. He must have been a very large person, perhaps about the size of Andre the Giant at that same age. The article creates more questions than it answers; if there are any sources for the claims, they should be appended to the article. " | |

Various Updates
[edit]Hello, any poor person on the watchlist will have suffered from my string of, somewhat duplicative, updates.
I think there is sufficient sourcing between three good sources (the legal liability paper is a right nuisance to hunt down - anyone who finds a better link please put it in) to reasonably resolve the notability issues. There is some neutrality issues with the sources, but it's somewhat inevitable - it's not as if there is a counter-arguing set of sources saying it was moral to do this form of testing and there isn't any vaguely recent source that actually thinks it significantly enhanced US security.
I've added an NPOV tag since the article clearly has issues on that front, even with a couple of the most notable examples removed by my eds. It will really need a wholescale reworking to properly resolve that, but unless someone else has the energy that can wait.
Some links on the campaigning bit would be good - it's not very detailed on any of the articles, but there are a couple of good links I'll go work them into each of the three of four relevant articles. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:55, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
