Is it just me, or is the title of this page getting a little silly? May I recommend List of military outposts? --Brion 00:18 Dec 30, 2002 (UTC)

It is getting out of control. -- Zoe

I agree. Brion's suggestion is a move in the direction of sanity. user:sjc

I don't see what sanity has to do with it. Vera Cruz

Should Coast Guard stations be listed here too? -- Mike Hardy

yes Vera Cruz

This page is a complete mish-mash. Area 51, the Maginot Line and West Point all on the same page makes no sense, especially when the rest of page is about military bases almost exclusively in the US not semi-mythical secret installations, defunct lines of fortifications in Europe or military training colleges. This list should be renames US Military bases and all the erroneous other stuff moved to other appropriate lists. Mintguy

Is Area 51 the official designation for this base or is it the popular name I always thought it was semi-mythical until I read Area 51? Mintguy

Surely there should be some distinction between bases on US territory and others. Diego Garcia is on British Territory. It should be listed under overseas bases or something. Mintguy

Last I checked most of these weren't in the US. Vera Cruz

This article is not useful and should be extensively rewritten or deleted. ---GABaker

I recommend the "By Name" and "By Type" sections be removed. Stick with the "By service" charts. They provide all the necessary information this article demands, IMHO. Kingturtle 21:54 Apr 6, 2003 (UTC)

However, international bases must be added to the charts. Kingturtle 21:58 Apr 6, 2003 (UTC)
