	Military history of the United States - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		This provoked a war in the Northwest Territory in which the U.S. forces performed poorly; the Battle of the Wabash in 1791 was the most severe defeat ever suffered by the United States at the hands of American Indians.
		In the United States, the conflict was termed a police action under the aegis of the United Nations rather than a war, largely in order to remove the necessity of a Congressional declaration of war.
		The War on Terrorism is a global effort by the governments of several countries (primarily the United States and its principal allies) to neutralize international groups it deems as terrorist (primarily radical Islamist terrorist groups, including al-Qaida) and ensure that rogue nations no longer support terrorist activities.

		Casualties of War, despites some of its flaws, is quite faithful to the original text which was a true story.
		Casualties of War is probably the most insightful, thought-provoking Hollywood movie ever to deal with the Vietnam war, and one of the very finest war films ever made.
		While Casualties of War is definitely not a bad film, it had the unfortunate distinction of being released at the same time as Full Metal Jacket, Born of the Fourth of July, and Platoon.

	Casualties of war - Salon
		During World War II, a war regarded by all of its combatants as one of national survival, an entire enemy nation, soldiers and civilians alike, was regarded as a legitimate target.
		Large numbers of civilian casualties, or individual horrors like Dresden or the firebombing of Tokyo, were seen as regrettable, but they did not cause participants or historians to alter their assessment of the moral status of the parties involved.
		Moral purists might argue that Iraqi military casualties, too, should be kept as low as possible; but once hostilities commence, the uniformed personnel of an enemy army, no matter how unwilling they are to fight or tyrannical their leader, are generally considered legitimate targets.

	The Korean War
		In brief, the Korean War began with the invasion of the South by North Korean troops.
		For the next two years, the war was fought mostly in the air as the battle line on the ground hardened into a massive defensive network on both sides.
		These leaders felt that the human misery and political humiliation associated with pursuing a limited war was preferable to the much greater loss and doubtful outcome of a global war.

		Hanson excoriates Westerners who demand that this war be waged in such a way as to minimize Iraqi civilian deaths, saying that that approach endangers their own soldiers.
		Hanson's assumption that the United States will endanger its own troops to spare innocent Iraqis is part of what underlies his low casualty predictions.
		After all, if one of the war's goals really is a transformation of the Middle East meant to undermine the ideological power of radical Islam, it would be wholly counterproductive for America to hand Osama bin Laden the P.R. coup of murdered Arabs on al-Jazeera TV.

		During the Civil War there were 31.5 people in the United States.
		Mary Chestnut, a southern woman whose diary is now famous, once wrote [about three years into the war] that before the Civil War she did not know a family that had someone in the army, but that now she did not know of any family that had not lost someone to the war.
		Also consider that the men in most military units were from the same area, companies being formed of men from the same town or county.

		World War II ended with the surrender of Japan in September 1945, and Army nurses stationed around the world began planning to return home.
		The war also revealed the existence of two superpowers -- the United States and the Soviet Union, countries which would determine the fate of Europe and the world for the next four decades.
		By the end of the war, in 1945, 27 million of 110 million soldiers and around 25 million civilians had died.

		It is somewhat unreliable, since it includes multiple enlistments in the case of wars prior to 1900, and is a gross figure, including all personnel ever in the service during the conflict.
		In addition, figures for post-1945 wars are polluted to some extent by the fact that a significant portion of the forces under arms during these conflicts were not actually directly engaged in the war, but were securing the nation's other global commitments.
		Under Percentages, KIA refers to the percent of those enrolled killed in action, Dead to the percent dead from all causes, and Casualty to the percent killed or injured.

	Leap In The Dark: Casualties Of War
		A cenotaph for the people from that locale who have died in the wars that our countries have fought memorializing their contribution to whatever cause was considered worth sending them off to die for.
		In the United States I know you have erected the fl wall in Washington D.C. in memory of the soldiers who died in Viet Nam, and perhaps local cenotaphs will have added lines for those who died in the first Gulf War, and more recently Afghanistan and of course the current conflict in Iraq.
		They exhort us to support our troops by not speaking dissent against the job they are doing, but what in turn are the governments doing to recognise the fact that son, husbands, and fathers aren't going to be coming home to their loved ones.

		A legacy of the ten years of civil war during the 80s is that many military garrisons and facilities are located in urban areas where the Soviet-backed government had placed them since they could be better protected there from attacks by the rural mujahideen.
		Yet another, wails about too much press coverage of civilian casualties by a media unable to understand that some civilian casualties must occur but that "what IS newsworthy is that so many bombs hit their targets".
		Contrary to myths perpetrated in the United States, there were many reporters on the ground in Afghanistan or in the border areas during the first three months of the air war.

		This was in marked contrast to the first Gulf War in 1991 when reporters were barred from going to the front lines.

	Al Qaeda Declaration of War - UnitedStatesAction.com
		As stated by the people of knowledge, it is not a secret that to use man made law instead of the Shari'a and to support the infidels against the Muslims is one of the ten "voiders" that would strip a person from his Islamic status (turn a Muslim into a Mushrik, non believer status).
		At other occasions some righteous people were tricked into a war of words against the Ulama and the leaders of the movement, wasting the energy of the nation in discussing minor issues and ignoring the main one that is the unification of the people under the divine law of Allah.
		He described the situation of the Muslims and the Mujahideen and stated that even the military personnel who are not practising Islam are not exempted from the duty of Jihad against the enemy.

		On a special edition of Nightline on Friday, Ted Koppel read the names of all of the U.S. troops who have died in Iraq, but viewers of seven ABC stations owned by Sinclair Broadcasting were not able to see it.
		The Pentagon's ban on media coverage of the return of fallen service members was broken twice this week, reviving the debate over the Pentagon's prohibition on photos of the repatriation of the war dead.
		TERENCE SMITH: Arizona Sen. John McCain, a supporter of the war in Iraq, sent a letter of protest today to David Smith, Sinclair's president and CEO, calling the decision "unpatriotic" and "a gross disservice to the public and to the men and women of the United States armed forces."

		Do they really expect us to believe that the State of the Union Address was written by a lackey whose memory of his own actions doesn't extend beyond 3 months, and that no one else checked what he wrote before the president read it before congress?
		Bush's speech on the aircraft carrier back in May was greatly premature, as was the war in general.
