I changed the bit about Melchett being Major General. His shoulder insignia has crossed sword and baton, a pip and a crown (4 star General is the only general who has three "icons", others have either a pip or a crown) and is visible in many episodes. Maybe the part of his authority and troops he commands should be written elsewhere?194.150.65.59 04:16, January 19, 2014 (UTC)
No compassion? Or no empathy?[]
I'd rewrite the last paragraph about his personality - I don't think he lacks compassion, I think he rather lacks empathy. The difference being, he honestly doesn't see why Darling wouldn't want to go "over the top" and therefore assumed it must be because he didn't want to leave him. He strikes me more as ignorant than malevolent (apart from the issue with the pigeon, but then it was personal retribution, not sadistic pleasure alone). --Cyberman TM (talk) 18:20, September 11, 2020 (UTC)
