Talk:Battle of Sangju (1950)

Capture of Yechon section is technically not neutral...
Although I reverted User:BamakoEdit2 edit due to the fact that it is a knee jerk addition aimed at right great wrong rather than being constructive, this user did have a point about this article not being neutral. The entire Capture of Yechon section was copied verbatim from South to the Naktong, North to the Yalu, and this source was at the heart of controversy on US Army not recognizing Battle of Yechon had occurred. I believe that a rewrite of this section is in order, especially we now have more recent sources such as Black Soldier, White Army or The War for Korea, 1950–1951: They Came from the North that had the chance to critically examines both Appleman and Bussey's POV side by side.

Also a note to User:BamakoEdit2...overwriting Appleman's POV (which is racist against blacks) with Bussey's POV (which is unverified primary account) while erasing all hints of negativity against 24th Regiment in a knee jerk fashion is just inflaming the situation here.

 * I am moving the NPOV tag at the top of article. After cross examining this article's content against both Appleman and Bowers sources, I have to say the entire article narrative is strikingly close to Appleman's description of the event when compared with other published POVs. My suggestion on fixing the situation would be:
 * Rewrite this article based on Bowers, Millet and official South Korean narrative of the event.
 * Relegate Appleman, Alexander and Hasting to sources that only "fill the narrative gap" while avoid invoking their outdated analysis of the event.
 * Regardless whether 24th Regiment fought well or not, or whether the battle was big or small, or whether Bussey's claim of 258 kills was officially vetted, etc...at least acknowledge that Bussey actually got a Silver Star at Yechon with his machine guns.
