Might be good to note that MSTS Sgt. George D Keathley is a transport - the first time I read it I wondered why we were italicizing the name of this master sergeant, and why he had to carry all that ammunition ;)
The quote "I fired him because he wouldn't respect the authority of the President. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a bitch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals. If it was, half to three–quarters of them would be in jail.[103]" is too short for a block quote. Check the rest for short quotes like this.
No, according to
WP:MOSQUOTE: Format a long quote (more than about 40 words or a few hundred characters, or consisting of more than one paragraph, regardless of length) as a block quotation The quote is 49 words long.
