Afghanistan

edit

It is too soon to add the War in Afghanistan to the list? As it fits Stowell's definition perfectly. - 58.106.46.227 (talk) 12:58, 2 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Reprisal vs Punitive, Actual vs Pretextual

edit

The Reprisal Operation article should be merged into this as a primary type of punitive expedition. All reprisal expeditions are punitive but not all punitive expeditions are reprisals.

It's bizarre that reprisal article treats them as unique to Israel since reprisal attacks are as old as humankind. Should be merged as a type of punitive expedition not an Israeli military tactic. BTercero (talk) 02:42, 17 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Nomenclature

edit

Why is this called an "expedition"? Wouldn't something like "incursion" be more apt? A "punitive expedition" seems intentionally misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:401:180:E1E0:20CE:C25E:6F76:972 (talk) 17:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
