which army/country
editIt should be stated somewhere in first sentence which army/country he is in. I had to read a bit because I wasn't sure if he was British or Australian etc. The info is there, but in bits.
It also states he was the first soldier to serve that lost his leg but retired US Army General Fred Franks lost his leg during the Vietnam War and continued to serve. There are a number of other amputees that have also served and are presently serving.
The article sounds like a PR effort for his political campaign.
Suggestions for the article
editThe link/source #3 for "Operation Iraqi Freedom" no longer works. Can anyone find a new source for this? Aphill66 (talk) 20:36, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
