What does the fact that the woman who replaced him inspired Kelly McGinness' character in "Top Gun" have anything to do with the price of eggs in Denmark? 71.248.179.202 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:00, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

No doubt a bright fellow as a physicist, but his decisions on gender and trans clearly hurt unit cohesion and readiness — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 14:36, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

External link?
Would an interview with transcript with Ashton Carter from 1987 be useful here as an external link? Focus of conversation is nuclear weapons policy. (I have a conflict of interest so I shouldn't add it.) http://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_19CDC7C452FE459AA0591052B2F9900B Mccallucc (talk) 13:35, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Is he still married?
Sometime after he was sworn in as Secretary of Defense, but not recently, I noticed that at a public appearance (possibly at a Congressional hearing), he wasn't wearing a wedding band on either hand. Of course, it's possible his wedding band was at a jewellery store for resizing, or something. I post this as a suggestion for anyone who might be interested into looking into this and updating the "Personal life" section of the article, if necessary. --71.183.128.251 (talk) 01:41, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Fixed Dead Link/s
Hello all, just changed the external link referencing the opening of female positions in the military as the previous link was incorrectly formatted and dead. It now works, if someone finds similar issues please feel free to notify such changes here. 2001:4530:1:500:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FF68 (talk) 08:28, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
