I've debated this one for a long time, and finally decided to nominate for deletion. For starters virtually all the infomation on the page is referenced from www.davechristian.com. As the reference material is all from the subject's website, there is no real verifiability. Second, the whole thing reads like an advertisement/shrine to David Christian. As a serious, not casual, student of American military history, I have to admit I've never heard of David Christian. While I don't doubt the man is a veteran, and probably earned the awards listed, the article claims he is the "Most Decorated American officer in the Vietnam War." Fine, except that the same has been said of many other people. "Most decorated" is a highly subjective term, and usually self awarded by people, as the Pentagon, to my knowledge, never refers to anyone as the "most highly decorated." There are plenty of people who earned Distinguished Service Crosses, are Vietnam veterans, etc. but aren't necessarily notable. The only article that links here is Silver Star, and only because one of the editors to this article added his name to that article. The article has pictures showing him with famous people, but that does not confer notability. The book he wrote is out of print, so apparently not a huge demand for it. I guess to sum up, this seems more like using wikipedia as an advertiment space/shrine than an encyclopedic article, and is unverifiable from third party sources. The tone of the article doesn't help either, nor the fact that most of the editors on the page have edited only this article, or other ones to point to this article.
