WPMILHIST Assessment
editThis reads more like a CV than a biography. Please remove or rephrase the excessive listing of ranks into something more biographical (prose paragraphs describing his life, not just a list of his ranks). LordAmeth 02:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Mean Bastard
editGEN Thurman was a mean bastard, but good leader. He did not monkey foot around. Once in a command brief when he was a two-start Major General (0-8), he was challenged by a Major (O-4). He said: "I am an O-8 and you are an O-4." O-8 is double O-4, so I am right and you are wrong." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.11.81.82 (talk) 22:11, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
