Interesting life, well narrated on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I approve both hooks, - my preference being the ALT, but wondering if we could abbreviate to U.S. and somehow mention "heal wounds of war"? - I would like to know about the mother(s) of his children, and think it might be worth mentioning that his daughter wrote a memoir. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:33, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your review. I abbreviated United States. Regarding the suggested addition of more ideas in the hooks, I like to have very short, incomplete hooks so that the reader is curious for more. Binksternet (talk) 14:31, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Understand, and accept. Just that I would be more curious about peace than just swords. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:40, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
