Talk:Partisan (military)

message: the fact is that, unlike terrorists, partisans are still legally considered uniformed members of a nation's armed forces -- sure? Can you give a source? Please compare It is a violation of the laws of war to engage in combat without meeting certain requirements, among them the wearing of a distinctive uniform or other easily identifiable badge and the carrying of weapons openly at Laws of war. --Pjacobi 22:12, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the history, this change was made in Feb 2006 by an anonymous IP, in response to a discussion on 18th and 19th century irregular warfare:  . Needless to say, what "partisan" meant in the 18th and 19th centuries is rather different to what it means today. I'll edit the article to reflect this. -- Hongooi 15:49, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't find any souces for a Vietnamese 'People's Liberation Army' - the best fit I can find is the Vietnam People's Army, but that does not appear to have been particularly a guerilla organization. Does anyone have any sources for either interpretation, or should this prime example (note sarcasm) just be removed? ― GrimRevenant 01:41, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Does someone mind if I add link to "Partisans (Yugoslavia)"?  They were indeed more relevant group that most of other mentioned in the article. Mcampos69 (talk) 17:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Partisans in the mid-19th century were substantially different from raiding cavalry, or from unorganized/semi-organized guerrilla forces.  - this needs details. How did they differ from raiding cavalry and guerrillas?  Equipment?  Training?  Role?  Something else? Wardog (talk) 13:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: File:Bunker of lith partisans.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: All the examples of partisans are anti-Nazi or anti-Soviet, the two having a similar (genocidal) flavor despite attempts to exterminate each other during  the conflict called WWII.  The "extras" section lists such fascists as "5th Column," something I think partisans have/would attempt to mitigate.  What I think is happening here is typical of WP: an attempt to redefine popular democracy as (unpopular) oligarchy, as in "I met the [academic, normalized] teacher at the door w/ a smok'n .44). --John Bessa (talk) 00:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
