• Comment - why are some of the links bold and others not? Presumably it has to do with importance, but is there some sort of specific criteria? --Spangineer (háblame) 11:01, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • New note: The bolded items are the U.S. wars most often considered to be major conflicts by historians and the general public. :) jengod 19:41, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose - some of these items, like the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, were not military actions (performed?, title seems to be missing a word) by or within the United States. Many links need to be fixed because they redirect to probably better titles. In general, the scope of the article and the subdivisions are not clear -- in what way is the Republic of Vermont a secessionist attempt (or is it an etc.?); all items listed should go to an article on the topic (or should be a red link pointing to the topic), not a generic article like Nantucket.; also needs references; why are some battles specifically mentioned (like the Battle of Tippecanoe)? this seems to imply that they were a separate military action somehow, but that appears to not be the case; the "miscellaneous" section needs to be organized (appears to be items with no military involvement, but then why relevant? and items listed elsewhere, like Weathermen, also seem to have no military involvement).
