Brazil dildo award?
Is this a real award or is someone messing around... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Themagicmanfromtrent ( talk • contribs) 18:36, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Article reassessed and graded as start class. It's really just a list, but I think it could be expanded into a full article. -- dashiellx ( talk) 19:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
How did Eisenhower earn a Navy Distinguished Service Medal? To my knowledge, he only served in the Army and never in the Navy or the Marines. I tried to find evedence of this but only found pages referencing Wikipedia. Can anyone explain? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.26.250 ( talk) 23:40, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Was he ever a regular colonel? It doesn't appear on the list.
Many decades ago I read the Stephen Ambrose biog of him, and I seem to recall that during the Tunisian Campaign (early 1943) he failed his medical for promotion to regular colonel. In peacetime that would probably have been his final promotion before mandatory retirement in his mid fifties. Of course it was surreal as he was, at the time, an acting four-star general in the wartime army, and Supreme Allied Commander in the Mediterranean.
The list shows him, a little later, being appointed a regular brigadier-general and then major-general on the same day - that may have been by a different process, eg. Presidential or Congressional appointment (Pershing was famously promoted from captain to brigadier-general by President Teddy Roosevelt, as he was otherwise never going to get there on seniority). My understanding is that major-general was usually the highest regular rank until WW2 broke out - chiefs of staff like MacArthur were acting 4-star then retired as 2-stars. Happy to be corrected on these points by somebody who knows more.
Probably worth a footnote if somebody has the details. Paulturtle ( talk) 01:32, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
