I'm unwilling to change the direct meaning of a sentence without some confirmation, but I've noticed this in the report section:
Surely this should be "had not"? Shimgray | talk | 12:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Ref 29 needs fixing: "Hammer, pp. 214â214." Epbr123 ( talk) 10:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello all, and congratulations on the upcoming Featured status of this article.
Observation: As of this writing, this article ( Krulak Mendenhall mission) is not hyphenated. However, the article for the follow-up mission described is hyphenated ( McNamara-Taylor mission). Any thoughts on this? Ought there be consistency between the two? Thanks to all for all the hard work on this. KConWiki ( talk) 03:43, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
"Adviser?" I think the spelling for 'adviser be changed to 'advisor'? This article is about an American thing, so it should be written in American English, and the preferred spelling is "advisor", not "adviser". â Preceding unsigned comment added by Puuuj ( talk ⢠contribs) 21:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
I agree on the hyphenation with an en-dash. TuckerResearch ( talk) 11:54, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
I am struck by the content of the photos: a portrait of Krulak leads off, a series of canned pix of various persons peripheral to the mission (Kennedy, Diem, etc.) follows, and not a single picture of Mendenhallâhalf of the named portion of the mission. Surely, there are photos of him out there, probably even of him in S. Vietnam. How about it, Wikipedians? -- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 00:38, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
In the section "Report and debriefing", it is not clear whether Victor Krulak was liked and trusted in the US Department of Defense, or not. Perhaps there were differences of opinion between several groups, within the DoD? That is, between the high-ranking generals and admirals, the career civil servants, and the political appointees. The passage contradicts itself, stating that Krulak was both "universally liked and trusted in the Pentagon", yet "regarded "with great suspicion on the Virginia side of the river [the Pentagon..."
Here's the passage... The Deputy Secretary of Defense Roswell Gilpatric noted that Mendenhall was regarded "with great suspicion on the Virginia side of the river [the Pentagon, headquarters of the Defense Department]",[9] whereas Krulak was "universally liked and trusted in the Pentagon, both on the civilian and military side".[9] 68.35.173.107 ( talk) 18:00, 18 January 2018 (UTC) 68.35.173.107 ( talk) 18:00, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
