Date of birth

Which day was his birthday August 22nd or 24th because according to some sources they say he was born on the 24th while yours say 22nd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.34.211 (talk) 01:40, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

His autobiography says August 22. The August 24 dates are from an AP "onfile" obit, used by the Huffington Post and others. Tomsv 98 (talk) 19:03, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

missing is any reference to Critique of Desert Storm being a difficult campaign , typical wikipedia censorship 75.163.205.209 (talk) 08:19, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name

I believe his autobiography states that his name was not Herbert. It was just the initial "H". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.48.27.185 (talk) 21:10, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Caption has all of these now I believe. —Ed!^(talk) 23:40, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
