Talk:Quincy Adams Gillmore

nincompoop
I have reworded the cited sentence about his men considering him a nincompoop. Although I do not have the reference to check this, the definition of the word--"A nincompoop is an English term usually meant to describe a person who is silly, foolish, stupid, and/or useless."--does not comport with the edit summary regarding torture of his men. A direct quote would be preferrable. Hal Jespersen (talk) 20:59, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
