	USCWC -- Statistical Summary: America's Major Wars
		Sources: Table 2-23: "Principal Wars in which the US Participated: US Military Personnel Serving and Casualties" prepared by Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports.
		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.
		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.

		Eleven thousand regular troops were sent to Canada, the British fleet was put on a war footing, and a sharp note was dispatched to the United States, demanding surrender of the prisoners and a prompt apology.

	Boston.com / News / Nation / Washington / High Court to hear first terrorism cases
		Historians have noted that the courts tend to give the president and other leaders greater leeway in times of war and give greater weight to civil liberties in peacetime.
		What Rehnquist and the court he leads say now will depend in large part on whether a majority of justices equates a war on terrorism with a traditional war that has a clearly defined end.
		The question for the high court is not whether Hamdi and Padilla are guilty, but whether the fight against terrorism allows the government to declare the pair ineligible for the usual constitutional protections afforded traditional defendants.

	ABSTRACT
		Halperin, director of the Washington office of the American Civil Liberties Union stated in a 1990 sponsored debate, "It is absolutely clear that dislike of flag-burning on the part ofany legislature has to do with the symbolism of the flag and with the message being expressed by those who burn it" (Pilon, 11).
		Charles Kingsbury Miller served as chairman of the flag committees of the Illinois chapters of the Society of Colonial Wars and the Sons of American Revolution.
		The Court simply reversed on the grounds that the statute was unconstitutionally applied to his case but not that the statute was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, which is in fact the legal question posed by the U.S. Supreme Court (Van Alstyne 316).
