Talk:United States Military Forces personnel

What exactly are the criteria for listing people on this page? Persons who were ever in the US Military Forces (and its predecessors), without any regard to relevance to Trek? Are there any canon or licensed works that mention any of the presidents in their military capacity (other than Washington: I know he had a TNG mention)? Should Bowie and Crockett count? (Crockett's national service was from a Tennessee Volunteer regiment during the War of 1812, and a few years after was elected Colonel of the Tennessee Militia. IIRC, Bowie never served in the US military. His rank was from the Republic of Texas Militia. Their relevance to Trek comes from their roles at The Alamo, so the context is Texan rather than US.)

Leaving the Texan question aside for the moment, shouldn't we limit the list to those persons (real and fictional) whose active or former service in the US Military Forces is directly mentioned somewhere relevant to the putpose of this wiki (in canon or a licensed work)?--Emperorkalan 19:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
