US as "Belligerent" edit

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I've removed from the infobox the listing of the USA as a "belligerent" in this battle. While the article notes that a US Navy ship aided in the evacuation, there is no mention of the US military playing any sort of combat role in this conflict. -Helvetica (talk) 20:51, 2 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Discrepancy in casualties edit

Latest comment: 13 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Something to fix, the number and division of casualties (killed and wounded), differ a lot between the summary block and the article. 213.248.88.141 (talk) 11:58, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
