Talk:British involvement in the Iraq War

Untitled
The term "telic" is used in a modern theory of psychology known as "Reversal Theory." It means "goal-oriented" and implies such qualities as "vision," "mission" and "planning ahead." It is contrasted in the theory with the "paratelic" state which is about the immediate hedonistic enjoyment of ongoing experiences which are not intended to have future consequences. For more information about this theory, which is a general theory of motivation, emotion, personality, and stress, go to: www.reversaltheory.org User:80.126.105.112 ______________

Number of British Servicemen in Korea

Is it true that only 20,000 Brititsh Personnel were deployed to Korea? That seems hard to believe since from the RN alone there was a whole Carrier Task Force deployed which would take care of atleast 10,000 naval personnel.

I need some help here. I'm trying to create a separate page for Major General Andrew Stewart (and plan to do one for Lamb as well) but when I try to create a link, it ships me off to some other Andrew Stewart. OK, I figured it out.

Is there any public information regarding the economic cost of the war to Britain? Surely someone out there must have an idea. Anon 003 22:47, 9 July 2007 (UTC) ______________________

I have rewritten the casualty section, the reason being that the casulaty figure stated appears to have been taken from http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/64B956F9-5358-4C21-8E20-A133CD70DA31/0/OpTelicCasualtyTables1to15July2007.pdf - a table which does not yet include casualty figures for 2003, 2004 or 2005. The article as previously written stated a specific figure which made it sounds authoritative - it wasn't. On the contrary, it was misleading.

End date?
I have included a few sentances about the end of UK operations in Iraq, as of 30/4/09, but haven't gone into much detail. Maurice-lemur (talk) 13:10, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * This BBC report refers to the RAF involvement in Iraq ending on 15 May 2009. Should that be the date for the official end of Operation Telic rather than the Army handover on 30 April? --Cavrdg (talk) 14:16, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Royal Navy was still there (still under the name Telic) in November 2010 - don't know if they have left yet but clearly this article is wrong in claiming an end in May 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.121.21.62 (talk) 21:06, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Current UK Operations in Iraq post 2009 are known as Operation Shader, also its worth pointing out that the 'Iraq Medal' is actually a General Service Medal for the region in the same way as the Herrick medals are. Most people don't realise this but in theory any operations in that area of the world could issue the same medal, ordinarily with a bar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cunobeline (talk • contribs) 15:48, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

What is this
This article goes from "Background" section to "Command Structure" section, then to "Post-Invasion" section and then to "Equipment" and finally the "Casualties" one. Where is the actual details of the invasion?? Maybe in some other article?? Then, if yes, a link to it should be included. - Joaquin89uy (talk) 00:03, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
