Why has the summary of the military's history been removed from the lead? This is standard for major militaries. Stara Marusya ( talk) 22:51, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
At Template talk:United States Armed Forces informal discussions are taking place about whether the main article title, United States Armed Forces, is the best place to have the article. I initially raised these concerns when I noticed that the style "United States Armed Forces" is not referred to in United States Code, Annotated. The nearest thing in U.S. Code is "the armed forces."
All are encouraged and welcome to put their views at the bottom of that talkpage, see Template talk:United States Armed Forces#In Code / Article Rename?; these discussions may be formalized into a WP:RfC at some point. Kind regards to all, Happy New Year. Buckshot06 (talk) 21:47, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
I am questioning the need for a section in the article infobox that is titled "Industry". With all the flags and the length of the list wouldn't be better presented in the body of the article under the title of perhaps "International suppliers". Just asking for a friend...
