Include What? edit
How much do we include in this article? I am not sure. In this article, the year 2019 has one sentence. Yet the IUUFASA lists over a dozen. And I recall hearing that US troops are deployed in approximately 150 countries. So, what is the logic for what goes in this article?

Operation deliberate force edit
"1995 – Bosnia. Operation Deliberate Force. NATO bombing of Bosnian Serbs."
\"NATO bombing of Bosnian Serbs\" --- please someone remove subjective description of the intervention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.62.201.142 (talk) 04:11, 5 July 2011 (UTC) Nothing subjective here: source from NATO: http://www.nato.int/docu/review/2005/issue3/english/history.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.216.167.92 (talk) 09:43, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Cold war article edit
This article, and it's three twins, is continously quoted on the internet as a list of US aggression and invasions. Not only is it's content blatantly POV, but it's also used as ammunition in the left's revisionistic continued Cold War against democracies. It doesn't deserve inclusion on Wikipedia anymore than xenophobic raves about muslim immigrants raping western women. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.82.213.198 (talk) 14:30, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- Can you provide specific examples of allegedly biased content in this article, and specify which other articles you refer to?TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 14:48, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Bold dates? edit
Recently, all dates for everything in this list were made bold by this edit. I don't think it helps much, and the lede states that wars in bold are important, which now do not stand out in the list. If there are no objections, I will unbold the dates. --A D Monroe III (talk) 18:19, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- I actually think that the bolding of dates is a good idea, it helps the reader in a way that you might not think of to distinguish one line from another. -SantiLak (talk) 23:02, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- Can we figure some alternative way to help distinguish the lines without using bold for multiple conflicting purposes? --A D Monroe III (talk) 18:30, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
