We could use an example or two of historical incidents which led to reprisals and examples of the reprisals themselves. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:49, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The statement in the lead of this article..."A legally executed reprisal is not an atrocity" needs clarification. Just what is meant here? What constitutes a "legal" reprisal? Who makes that determination? Dr. Dan (talk) 20:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What happened to verbiage , as alluded in paraphrase similar to thus , " A reprisal includes an action to assure that an illegal act of war would not be again performed . " ?

Where is the verbiage which alludes to forcing an enemy to desist in further illegal action ?

Could someone invested in this article nip over to the talk page of Dachau liberation reprisals and persuade them that the massacre at Dachau should be called something else - incident, massacre, other - since it was never intended as a reprisal in the legal sense? 174.0.48.147 (talk) 15:18, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
