removed tag

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.

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]
