  • ... that when Bernard Schriever (pictured) was promoted to general in 1961, General Curtis LeMay looked at his four stars and said that had it been up to him, Schriever would not be wearing them? Source: offline I'm afraid

  • Hi Hawkeye7, review follows: article promoted GA on 8 September; article is well written and cited inline throughout to impeccable sources; I found no copyright violations from the websites listed - AGF that this is the case for the offline sources; hook is interesting (I made one amendment to add "not" which I think was omitted by mistake? If you could confirm); AGF on hook sourced offline; image source is not available but looks appropriate for the license; QPQ has been done. Looks good to go, another great military history article - Dumelow (talk) 07:33, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
