Reason

A high-res painting of the US 65th Infantry Regiment depicting bayonet charge against a Chinese division during the Korean War. The 65th is a Puerto Rican unit that saw service with the United States in WWI, WWII, and Korea, and is unique for its time in that the United States Military had a policy of segregating its military units at the time, making it unusual to see ethnic minorities in combat assignments. This image has already graced a featured article and a featured list; I figure the next time it sees the main page should be as a featured picture in its own right. (A word of caution to those with slow connections: the image is a little on the large side, so take that into consideration when you click on it).

Was he an employee of the federal government who made this painting as part of his official duties? ? P. S. Burton ( talk ) 01:01, 29 November 2015 (UTC) [ reply ]
• Oppose . I'm struggling to see the EV here. It also comes across as a little propaganda-y. Josh Milburn ( talk ) 18:15, 29 November 2015 (UTC) [ reply ]
• Oppose ? Per Josh . Looks like a panel from the war-action comic books I sometimes perused as a kid. Sca ( talk ) 20:54, 29 November 2015 (UTC) [ reply ]
