Categorization[edit]

The article makes clear the subject is not a war resister, so I removed that cat rewinn 04:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Only African American in the unit" statement[edit]

Regarding this statement: "Akbar was in fact not the only African American in the unit, A Co, 326th EN BN, and the other African American, Hispanic, and White soldiers went on to serve with Honor in Iraq over the following year."

I just added a {{fact}}, but I also think that this statement violates NPOV, specifically Neutral language and Moral and political points of view, from what I understand of the Wikipedia:NPOV_tutorial

Event Date[edit]

I changed the event date to March 22, 2003 (it was showing the 23rd) since the DoD shows that date for the shooting death of Capt. Seifert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.194.48 (talk) 17:54, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fragging[edit]

Sounds like fragging incidents in Vietnam, when soldiers killed more than 200 officers and noncoms in confirmed incidents, and 1400 officers were killed in unexplained events, according to the Wiki article. Parkwells (talk) 04:05, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On the date of execution[edit]

There is no news of when the sentence is meant to be carried out. None of the public CAAF documents (BRIEF ON BEHALF OF APPELLEE nor CAAF opinion) say anything. I'm not sure where the bot got the specified date of the execution but it is not on the public CAAF documents and no report that the execution has occurred.
