:I’m seriously confused by this statement. I wrote and added a paragraph about one of the largest protests of the Vietnam War which was targeted at the Pentagon. Why does this not belong in an article about the Pentagon? This is a historical event, well documented, that received much publicity at the time it occurred—it occurred at the Pentagon and was targeted at the Pentagon. Saying this protest has nothing to do with the Pentagon is like saying the fact that the 9/11 attacks partially targeted the Pentagon has nothing to do with the Pentagon. I realy can’t see a legitimate distinction between the two events (both happened, both were major events, both targeted the Pentagon) why should we include one but not the other?--[[User:Reginod|Reginod]] 18:06, 6 April 2007 (EDT) | :I’m seriously confused by this statement.

Personal Recollections
Have no place in this article about the building, The Pentagon. Abbie Hoffman has exactly zero to do with the building, its reason for being, its facts and figures. --~ Sysop-TerryK MyTalk 17:57, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
