Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... The material was not copied from the alleged source. It was significantly edited and modified from the source referenced in the article, which is a copyright-free U.S. Government publication. The alleged source seems to be a direct copy from that one. I am aware of the issues involved in copyright, and am rather careful about not violating anything. --

Additionally, the alleged copied source, Military.com, does not seem to be copyrighted itself (other than in the sense that the copyright of whatever one writes belongs to the writer). It is a site similar to a blog, where just about anybody can post just about anything they want. I am very familiar with it, and I don't regard it as a
reliable source for anything I post to Wikipedia. There's nothing particularly illegitimate about it, but its managers don't seem to screen the material that is posted there.
