Should these be in date order? Chadlupkes 02:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Sure. Let's put the newest on top? That way we don't have to scroll down to find a reference to an old war which we likely won't need (as much) anyway. You already did this for that category list, didn't you? I can just copy that, right? I'll have to find that again . . . Zephyrinus 20:56, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually, my preference would be to put the oldest wars at the top. Most research is already done somewhere on the people who were killed in the Civil War, WWI and WWII. The closer in time we are to a war, the more raw the wounds are in our collective psyche. If we start with the Revolutionary War, we could get the Sons & Daughters of the American Revolution to help us put the information together. If we put the Iraq War at the top, and start working on that, all we'll do is create a bunch of partisan rhetoric. I'm a strong Democrat and Progressive, but I don't want a site like this to descend down to that level of bickering. Let's start with the Revolution and Civil War and fill in the blanks. Thoughts?

Sure. I'm easy. Your reasoning makes sense. Zephyrinus 22:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
