[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.
