In December of 2005, there was a killed-in-action African-American Master Sergeant named A. Johnson. Though this is probably coincidence, should this be noted? Out of the 3,200 dead soldiers in the Iraq War (which is a disappointment of a war if you ask me), the odds are low for an African-American solder to be be ranked as a Master Sergeant and have the initial "A." with the last name of "Johnson". {{Signatures/Chiafriend12}} 03:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

*No. For one thing, he was a [[Master Sergeant]], not a [[Sergeant Major]]. For another, he's dead. I don't think that fighting for his country earns him a mention in a trivia section.

::Oh phooey, I always get the ranks of Master Sergeant and Sergeant Major mixed up. I don't mean to mention that the guy in Iraq died, I mean to mention the coincidence of name and rank, like they do on the [[Marcus_Banks#Trivia|Marcus Banks]] article. {{Signatures/Chiafriend12}} 03:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
