War on Terror
[edit]Has the War on Terror shifted to a new focus in recent years? Enough maybe to warrant a new section? Notable battles and reasons why need to be added to almost each conflict un War on Terror. What do the current situations in each of these countries look like as a result of US intervention? CarricoHayden08 (talk) 17:44, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
new article on Social history of soldiers and veterans in the United States
[edit]In writing American history there has always been a wide divide between popular historians and academic ones regarding wars and military history. Academics will spend enormous energy studying the cause of a war, then quit when the shooting starts. When I was in graduate school, two of my professors had written leading scholarly histories of the US Air Force and US Navy in World War II--that had been their role when they were in uniform. When they came back to the university they never mentioned that experience or encouraged anything like it for dissertations. That became my perspective too, but when my wife started writing the history of women in military service, my perspective changed, and I became interested in the social and economic history of soldiers and veterans in the United States. Wikipedia represents the non-academic view of military history, with its excellent and deep coverage of strategy, tactics and munitions. All the famous battles are right here. I have the ambition of helping to close the gap somewhat, by drafting this new article on Social history of soldiers and veterans in the United States Thus far, I am up to the 1790s. I hope to continue it chronologically into the late 20th century. I would welcome any comments or suggestions--thanks -- Rjensen (talk) 04:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
