Illogical?

He says wikileak papers will put blood on Julian's hands, but putting soldiers into combat doesn't? This is bad logic and pointed out by Daniel Ellsberg on Democraacy Now! http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=tI8nQAZl_0U --24.94.251.190 (talk) 03:39, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Introductory Paragraph Bias

Intro sounds like Gowdy wrote it "potentially damaging witness??" This is absurd and subjective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.11.1.37 (talk) 09:27, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Michael Mullen, CJCS, official photo portrait, 2007.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on October 4, 2016. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2016-10-04.

Picture of the day

Michael Mullen (b. 1946) is a retired United States Navy admiral who served as the 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from October 1, 2007, to September 30, 2011, having previously served as the Navy's 28th Chief of Naval Operations. He was only the third officer in the Navy's history to be appointed to four different four-star assignments. Mullen retired from the Navy after over 43 years of service, later serving as a visiting professor at Princeton University.Photograph: United States Department of Defense

Note the ribbons worn on ADM Mullen’s official photo and those in the awards and decorations section do not match up. For example, he correctly does not wear a Vietnam Campaign Medal/ribbon because he never served in country so was NOT awarded it yet the awards section incorrectly indicates he has the award. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8806:3202:3500:399A:C999:A866:27D3 (talk) 05:38, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

The Fifth Act

Adm. Mullen appears multiple times in the memoir The Fifth Act: America's End in Afghanistan by Elliot Ackerman. I'm not sure if that is proper material for the main article, but wanted to mention it. Marty Mangold (talk) 17:14, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
