Editing Talk:Captain (armed forces) (section)

== Unnecessary addition of a Waffen-SS photo ==

Not sure why [[User:Ruurikki|Ruurikki]] felt it was necessary back in 2023 to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Captain_(armed_forces)&diff=prev&oldid=1183877612 add a photograph] of Finnish ''Waffen-SS'' captain [[Lauri Törni]] to the article as a replacement for an equally unnecessary photo of Finnish captain [[Aarne Juutilainen]]. Regardless, a photo of a specific captain is unnecessary for an article about a topic generally and in a worldwide perspective. <big>[[User:Yue|<span style="color:#757575; font-family:Consolas, monospace">''Yue''</span>]][[User talk:Yue|🌙]]</big> 21:04, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
:I reverted that removal -- it's relevant as he is one of the extremely few (possibly the only) people in history to have held the rank of Captain in three separate armed forces.  The caption didn't note this (though it would have been easily discoverable by clicking through to Torni's article anyway) so I've updated it to include that. Regardless, it's encyclopedic, relevant to the topic, and represents a worldwide perspective; we don't censor content just because it happens to feature someone who fought for a side we don't like.

:I recommend you educate yourself on the topic before jumping to conclusions, not only because of what Swatjester said but the man is quite interesting regardless. [[User:Jesuliz|Jesuliz]] ([[User talk:Jesuliz|talk]]) 17:12, 7 October 2025 (UTC)
