I do not understand something about this article. It says that General Hillier was born in 1955 and completed his (BSc in 1980 after enrolling in the CF at 18). This would make Hillier 20 years old on graduation, implying that he started his university studies at 16 (if he completed a standard 4 year program). Either Hillier is rather precocious or he did not complete a standard 4-year undergraduate degree. Does anyone know the details of his education?
Gen Hillier was not part of NDHQ at the time of the Ice Storm. He actually was the Commander of 2 CMBG based in Petawawa, in the rank of Brigidier General.
Fact: CDS Hillier is left handed.

I've just thrown a bunch of fact tags in this article. I don't doubt that anything in here is true, but it really needs some in-text citations, particluarly for some of the statements about how Gen. Hillier is generally percieved and quotes attributed to him. This is a biography of a living person: everything needs to be sourced! Stevecudmore ( talk) 19:43, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Project Hero is not administered by the government of Canada, the individual universities choose their contributions and offer it of their own accord. They only contact VAC for verification of the student's status. Just thought I should clarify the facts. 199.43.148.227 ( talk) 19:29, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
A user deleted the entry on Hillier's comments on the decade of darkness. They are relevant both in the criticism it received and in the General's description of the treatment of the military. If it doesn't belong on the Canadian Forces or Liberal Party of Canada pages, it certainly belongs on Hillier's own page. JOttawa16 ( talk) 22:19, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
It is POV. If other editors agree with you, then I will not object to it, but as of now, it's just you continuously trying to add a POV statement to Wikipedia. JDDJS ( talk) 14:35, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
