message: Turkish commandos are probably one of the most active commandos of our time. I think someone should make a section of them under the "after 1945" part.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.213.226.152 (talk) 14:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rangers? 

message: .. damaged the Norwegian heavy water facility in Norway, in 1941. This effectively took Germany out of the Nuclear Arms development race, leading up to the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The hydrogen facility itself could never be damaged seriously. It is an open secret, that the most "efficient" commando operation against this facility led to the killing of hundreds of Norsk Hydro employees. After the railway train with "modified" tank waggons had arrived on the site, it exploded just right on time of Norsk Hydro's shift changeover. Hundreds of people were present within short distance of the train.
Anyhow, the fact that a German atomic bomb was never build (or never deployed) must have other reasons.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.157.42.213 (talk) 16:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  UK Post 1945/ Irish Commandos 

message: "Commando" is a term fairly specific to Britain, I'd have thought, a brand of Special Forces. A lot of countries have Special Forces (someone's mentioned US Rangers) and they aren't called Commandos.
So is this to be a page about Special Forces in general (in which case it needs moving to that title), or about British Commandos (in which case it needs trimming)? Moonraker12 (talk) 11:14, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title/subject 

message: The use of kommando in the sense of a "military command" is certainly older than Boer interaction with the Portuguese in in Africa. See Commodore (rank). Stardude82 (talk) 20:01, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a Spanish and Portuguese word. The Portuguese used it as the name for a military detachment, in Spanish it used to simply mean the given command itself -- 217.189.207.4 (talk) 20:08, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Portuguese origin of word dubious.. 

message: I think broadly stating the area north of the Vaal river is a pretty good description of what I'm talking about.  Is there a way of keeping the bots from correcting this or should the disambiguation be made? Stardude82 (talk) 21:31, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transvaal... why is this ambiguous. 

message: I took the liberty of adding an Etymology subheading. The first paragraph in the History section seemed to deal more with the history of the word than the history of the subject. 71.248.124.82 (talk) 20:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it doesn't make sense. Why would it stem from an Afrikaans word if that word itself stems from a Portuguese and Spanish word. Afrikaans is the by far lesser spoken, known and distributed word, so the less likely to be the source of anything outside the region. That's like saying "The word Viking stems from the French word Viking for the Swedish word Viking." Utter non-sense. -- 217.189.207.4 (talk) 20:06, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Look at your definition of Commando and then look at the functions of the 101st and tell me they don't match. The 101st conducts raids behind enemy lines. They abseiling from helicopters. Air Assault school is known as the ten toughest days in the U.S. Army. Half of the division's soldiers can't pass Air Assault school and the majority of those who failed can not make it through zero day. That is called a specialized unit. The Airborne units are almost 100% airborne qualified because airborne school is easy. The 101st is also conducting counter terrorism operations and it has been training foreign soldiers which is generally a special operation's mission. The 101st was in charge of a Iraqi Ranger Program which I have provided a link to. Notice the only other units who conduct these types of operations outside of SOFs are the 173rd Airborne Combat Brigade and the 82nd Airborne. That also presents a argument for them as well.

message: Considering the formidable presence of Yugoslav commandos during WW2, I feel that it's rather surprising that there is no section or even mention about them in the article (Using the find function yields no results for "yugo"). Is this simply due to a lack of work done on the topic, or is there some other reason?
