Revision as of 14:23, 29 June 2007
My source
American Military History intends to provide the United States Army—in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets—with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published the book in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. It has gone through a number of updates and revisions since then, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose.
The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point the most recent edition ended, has been a significant one for the Army, a busy period of expanding roles and missions and of fundamental organizational changes. In planning an update, it became clear that trying to wedge this additional sweep of history into the previous single-volume format would yield a cumbersome book. We are thus publishing a revised and expanded edition in two volumes.
This first volume covers the Army’s history from its birth in 1775 to the eve of World War I. By 1917 the United States was already a world power. The Army had sent large expeditionary forces beyond the American hemisphere, and at the beginning of the new century Secretary of War Elihu Root had proposed changes and reforms that within a generation would shape the Army of the future. But world war—global war—was still to come. The second volume of this new edition will take up that story and extend it into the twenty-first century.
We have developed a new design to reflect the often highly visual nature of contemporary textbooks. Our primary audience is still the young officer and NCO, but by adopting a more illustrated format we also hope to promote a greater awareness of the Army’s history within the American public. In so doing, we remain mindful of the Center’s responsibility to publish an accurate and objective account. We owe no less to the soldier and the veteran, to the student and the teacher, and to those pursuing a personal interest in learning more about the Army’s campaigns—and about its role in the larger history of the nation.

- OK Custerwest, I didn't know the circumstances. But you probably should still issue a deletion warning rather than using the language you used. Sorry if I seem pushy or anything. Smaug123 06:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Enjoy being banned. --HanzoHattori 18:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
With regards to your comments on Talk:Battle of Washita River: Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

Note that a Requests for Discussion (RfD) for HanzoHattori has been opened up at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/HanzoHattori in part because of his incivility to you. But you're also being uncivil to him, especially on his talk page. The no personal attacks policy applies whether to you even if he is also violating that policy too. --Yksin 22:10, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
... and no sooner do I write that then his RfD is deleted, apparently hadn't been done right. So I'm off to issue the same warnings to him that I've already issued to you. --Yksin 22:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
