Military man

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This appears to be an OR essay -- it meets the definition of "original synthesis," and while it may make claims that are true it has languished unreferenced for 3 years (tagged since November 06). A quick search on Google scholar turned up nothing on point, but if this is a phenomenon identified in sociological or literary scholarship elsewhere (and notably) then I'd be happy to see it stubbed with a couple of references.

 * Weak delete Something like this could be sourced, although the fact that it hasn't been for more than a year suggests that it won't be. While it's a fairly good description of a stereotype, this qualifies as original research.  Certainly, we should be willing to change comment if someone undertakes to improve the article.
