Talk:14th Infantry Regiment (United States)

Untitled
Once again I have deleted all information pertaining to any 14th U.S. Infantry Regiment in existence prior to 1861. The current/modern 14th U.S. Infantry Regiment which this article is about is different. Anyone wishing to post information on that regiment should create a new article because even though they are the same number they are not the same thing.Silver31u 15:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Global war on terrorism, operation iraqi freedom, etc
Use of buzzwords reflecting a U.S.-only point of view such as Global War on Terrorism, Operation Iraqi Freedom, etc are absolutely UNACCEPTABLE in an encyclopedic context unless they are accompanied by an alternate point of view.

USA-centric
I am removing this page from the USA-Centric category. I feel that while that category is important, it ought to contain articles that require a worldwide perspective, and that this article specifically concerns American history and the American military by subject. -24.158.102.148 19:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Neutrality?
I am suprised by your claim. I reviewed the Neutral POV policy and in good faith can accept "Global War on Terrorism". In the article is was a section header, I am changing it to "Post 9/11 Era". That should be acceptable to everyone and be accurate. Although I will note that GWOT has currently not been challenged in general on a number of U.S. regimental pages as well as WP List of Military Operations As for Operation Iraqi Freedom, it is entirely acceptable and accurate becuase that is the military operation it operated under. See. It is objective fact the name given to the conflict in Iraq by the U.S. military for their use is Operation Iraqi Freedom and and for Afghanistan it is Enduring Freedom. It is possible to disagree with the message that the name conveys but not that that is the name by one of the major participants. For the time leaving the dispute badge.--Silver31u 10:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Not Different Units
The 1st and 2nd Battalions, 14th Infantry Regiment still use those histories as thee\ir histories. Just because the organization is different does not necessarily constitute a different unit. There was continuity through the re-organization, and thus the 14th Infantry Regiment can be traced back to it's previous incarnations, no matter what the oganization was. Regardless, infantry battalions with rich histories often foster an attitude in them of family. Saying that previous organizations of the 14th Infantry Regiment being "not the same thing" would be akin to saying that previous generations of your family are not really part of the accepted family (even though they have the same name) because of a family reorganization. For good or ill, the history of these units belong to that unit, as a whole, not the unit from this date to this date and from that date to that date.--Tigey 05:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Are Different Units
I have to disagree with you, which one significant source of evidence on my side. According the the U.S. Army Center of Military History, the U.S. 14th Infantry Regiment's Lineage And Honors BEGIN with formation in 1861. See http://www.army.mil/cmh/html/forcestruc/lineages/branches/inf/0014in.htm. If the U.S. Army Historical Community does not accept these "previous formations" as the U.S. 14th Infantry Regiment then try aren't. At the same time the U.S. Army Center includes the lineage and honors of other units dating back to the Revolution so they do count that history when it is accurate. --Silver31u 00:17, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Montana Portal
I am wondering why this article is listed in the Montana Portal. None of the constituent units are quartered in Montana, have conducted operations there, or have a particularly high concentration of Soldiers from there. If anything, I would say that it would be better placed under the Hawaii and Alaska portals.Tigey (talk) 19:36, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
