 * Weak delete - the article right now's pretty useless, and several paragraphs don't even deal with the returned soldiers themselves. However, this could make a very interesting article if handled properly. If someone wants to recreate it in the future and expand it with proper sources, they should be able to with no prejudice.

 * Delete looks like OR, half-unfinished essay and it's a contentious topic that is probably best covered in the articles on each individual conflict. Dragomiloff 01:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment It's an original idea, and may even have a place in the encyclopedia, if it could be better sourced and reformatted. Tragic romance 09:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice to a future, referenced, article. The current article is massively incomplete.  It doesn't even attempt anything before World War I.  Current text is unreferenced and feels more like an essay than an encyclopedia article.  I'm almost certain that the topic has been studied in some of the academic literature on military science and military history (topics that are quite unfashionable in Western academia these days) so that a referenced article could be created in the future.  I do know that there is plenty of popular discussion and awareness for the topic to be notable, but I don't believe the current text or even organization structure would be much of a help toward a future adequate (or better) article.
