Talk:James L. Dozier

Untitled

General Dozier misidentified in picture. With one star on his shoulder, he is a Brigadier General. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.205.224.26 (talk) 17:30, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm changing the name of the Allied Land Forces Europe from 'LANSOUTH' (A mis-spelling) to 'LANDSOUTH' (which is accurate) - verification can be had from any NATO publication referencing same. Also corrected spelling errors, grammatical errors, and added a few verifiable facts in order to produce better reading flow and conceptual symmetry to narrative.

Extra Information

Stumbled across this bit of information by accident. Perhaps it would do well to add this bit of detail as to the events that took place prior to his kidnapping, and why all military members should take heed.

Brigadier General Dozier's wife had reported to her husband about how a strange couple was 'repeatedly sitting outside their apartment building', and how 'two uninvited "plumbers" showed up at the apartment'. Brigadier General Dozier did not listen to his wife, and said that she was being paranoid. After he was kidnapped by four men posing as "plumbers" and then later released 42 days later, he admitted he should have listened to his wife.

It is vital, as a military member, to always pay attention to the events around them. When something unusal is taking place, take heed and take neccessary precautions to avoid being kidnapped. This is another reason why military members are to study Brigadier General Dozier's case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.54.8.46 (talk) 18:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Moreover, I suggest to add references to few years before 1978 Aldo Moro kidnapping and murdering, which at the time worried public opinion about a possible identical outcome. --EH101 (talk) 18:49, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

The Dozier Drill

Does anybody agree with me that even a short mention should be done to the Dozier Drill ? It is a quite notable firearm combat drill invented after Dozier's kidnapping and based upon the real story. --EH101 (talk) 18:49, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Funny Trivia: The movie links to a nameless nato general who was captured by BR and is was located by us "soldiers" with PSIIIII-abilities. I guess that there aren't many nato generals who got captured by BR. FYI 92.224.127.226 (talk) 14:37, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Hearing loss?

The article mentions that Dozier was forced to listen to loud music. My recollection is that this was through headphones, and that he suffered hearing loss as a result. I believe that is worthy of mention. Can anyone cite a source regarding these facts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oldsmobile (talk • contribs) 21:32, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
