Is Jawj named after George Custer? The bit about being reduced in rank after the big war is consistent with Custer, but he seems to be a total screw-up which doesn't fit that analog. As far as I can tell, Custer was a successful golden boy who seemed invulnerable, right up until the disaster at Little Big Horn.Matthew Babe Stevenson (talk) 10:22, May 12, 2020 (UTC)

Probably. I'm not convinced with absolute certainty, so I don't see the need for a lit com. TR (talk) 16:18, May 12, 2020 (UTC)
Custer seemed invulnerable because he was good at self-promotion, but he was always a dumb-ass. I wouldn't add a lit comm, but don't believe the old fraud's press. Turtle Fan (talk) 21:40, May 18, 2020 (UTC)
Looking back at the story, I'm sure he is broadly based on Custer.Matthew Babe Stevenson (talk) 02:31, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

I think all that is needed is a See also box pointing to Custer, "on whom Jawj appears to be based."Matthew Babe Stevenson (talk) 05:14, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
