Talk:Comanche campaign

Entire article is wrong historically
First of all, virtually all military historians call the Plains campaign the Red River War, not the Comanche Campaign. Secondly, of the 4 battles listed for this "campaign" 3 of them had nothing to do with the Comanche or Kiowa, and not a member of either tribe was present at any of those battles! This article needs to be deleted. JohninMaryland (talk) 04:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Agree 100%. The referenced USACMH link isn't accurately framed here at all. The Army awarded campaign streamers in this way to acknowledge the far-flung nature of troop assignments during the Frontier period. Linking this to the Sioux Wars is likewise inaccurate.Intothatdarkness (talk) 16:33, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Recent Addition
This recent addition needs to be sourced. It's also not especially accurate when it comes to the history of this very generic conflict (as noted in the previous comments).Intothatdarkness (talk) 21:43, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I did some work in the section, but it needs much more attention. In fact, I almost want to submit it for deletion.Intothatdarkness (talk) 16:46, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Just reading the article and made a couple edits, but I don't want to spend too much time on it if it's going to be deleted. Adding a couple links that may be relevant to this or future articles:

 * Thanks, Ched! I've got some good paper sources on this, too, but in all honesty the main article should likely be broken up and merged with some other stuff we have. The first section really relates to a campaign against the Kiowa, not the Comanche, and the last section properly goes with the Red River War (which was a coordinated campaign against both the Kiowa and Comanche). The current title implies that these operations were all part of one grand, long-term campaign, when in fact they were not. Intothatdarkness 20:46, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Origins Section
This section really doesn't belong in this article, as it deals with operations against the Kiowa. I'm seriously considering removing it.Intothatdarkness 14:08, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Since there was no comment, I'm going BOLD and removing that section. Intothatdarkness 14:08, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
