This article have potential to grow and explain many details and cases of punitive expeditions, so thats why i'm against to remove this article. Dentren | Talk 10:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Afghanistan edit
It is too soon to add the War in Afghanistan to the list? As it fits Stowell's definition perfectly. - 58.106.46.227 (talk) 12:58, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Reprisal vs Punitive, Actual vs Pretextual edit
The Reprisal Operation article should be merged into this as a primary type of punitive expedition. All reprisal expeditions are punitive but not all punitive expeditions are reprisals.
It's bizarre that reprisal article treats them as unique to Israel since reprisal attacks are as old as humankind. Should be merged as a type of punitive expedition not an Israeli military tactic. BTercero (talk) 02:42, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
Nomenclature edit
Why is this called an "expedition"? Wouldn't something like "incursion" be more apt? A "punitive expedition" seems intentionally misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:401:180:E1E0:20CE:C25E:6F76:972 (talk) 17:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
