[edit] Number of enlistees

I find it highly unlikely that a local militia enlisted so many men. Please specify the source of your information.--equitor 05:26, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

3,500 is hardly an unbelievably high number for the personal army of one of the most powerful Maronites in Lebanon (not to mention President).
See, e.g., [1], [2]


[edit] Huh?

I'm more concerned about this addition: "Thereafter the Marada were the major force against the confessional division of Lebanon. They were known for giving a great example of Muslim-Christian conviviality, a model always fought by major country who build their foreign policies on creating chaos." Grammar aside, what is the source for this?

[edit] anonymous editor

you're inserting biased, unsourced and ungrammatical changes to this article: most importantly unsourced. either discuss your changes here, or on Talk:Lebanese Forces. as i've told you, i'm going to revert this until you provide a source or a good rationale for what you're writing.

these new edits need a language check and removal of bias, although it's better than before. the claim that the marada brigades remain intact since the early 80s definitely needs a source, and so do some other things too. also, please use the "show preview" button instead of "save page" when editing.

[edit] WikiSyria????

I have removed the WikiSyria banner, as there is no link between the current content and Syria (as a country) there might be some political alliance, but no geographical links (unless all of the Lebanese articles would be enlisted under the WikiSyria project too.)
