Talk:Operation Noble Eagle

Comments
"The air interceptors are manned by Active Duty US Air Force, Air National Guard, and AF Reserve units across the country; Ready to respond at a moment's notice."

I removed this because it sounds like more of a recruitment line than an encyclopedic statement. Also the above paragraph already states which groups operated as air interceptors during the operation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.12.195 (talk) 07:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

The History section needs work. "The operation has cost more than $27 billion, according to a recent report compiled by the Congressional Research Service, but has not necessarily helped to prevent any additional horrific attacks on the US, such as a repeat of the Sept. 11 attacks." The article up to this point has described the operation as protecting both the US and Canada. Could this sentence read "North America" instead of US, or has the operation prevented attacks on Canada? The article introduces the idea of a blip as "one of many possible solutions with the lingering difficulties in the mission"; however, the only problem that the article discusses is that "The aircraft maintainers, or mechanics, are currently "overworked and underpaid"." Also, if it is one of many solutions, why is only it being mentioned? --I'll come up with a Username later, 7:47 PST 30 June 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.184.176 (talk) 14:49, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * This paragraph was recently added, while deleting without explanation several other paragraphs and sentences, . I have reverted that edit. —Centrx→talk &bull; 18:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

This article read only slightly better than a propaganda piece. I removed a lot of patriotic fluff and subjective or useless information, but it still needs way more work than I'm willing to put into it. Not surprising considering most of it was just ripped from a single military magazine site. 66.210.205.12 (talk) 19:28, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * There is more to Operation Noble Eagle than an Air Force contribution. The Coast Guard was a part of Operation Noble Eagle in it's mission to protect the ports and waterways from terrorism.  This fact is not brought out in this article.  I will attempt to get references to this and add them in some way to this article in the future.  Cuprum17 (talk) 22:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
