Keith Miller
editHi there, it's great that you have decided to contribute to wikipedia and I hope you continue to do so. However, when adding information to articles, such as you have done on the Keith Miller, you must add reliable sources (preferably in the form of inline citations) to support your assertions, especially when other sources in the article claim something different. Happy editing, Jenks24 (talk) 05:21, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Listen dear friend, my assertions are backed up by over 20 years military service. The nickname "Dusty" was, and still is bestowed upon all with the nickname Miller or Millar, a reference to flour dust and not in the least a reference to fighting. The use of such a nickname to those called Miller goes back way beyond Keith Miller's wartime service. I see the author quotes himself, somewhat disingenuous in my opinion. What is his service record? What does he know of military customs and traditions? I willing to bet he knows nothing.
Asking me for a citation when talking of old military customs makes as much sense as asking someone to to state with certainty the author of a 2 hundred year old folk song, or who wrote the original rules to say soccer.
23 years service sonny, that is my citation, and a good knowledge of military history, where people are called heroes because they risked their lives, not because they can hit a ball with a piece of wood.
