Real-World Military
Star Fleet Universe Discussion Board: Non-Game Discussions: Real-World Military
ANNOUNCEMENT:
All posters to this topic are reminded that they are subject to the Board Posting Rules, specifically rule #11:
There is a "real world military" topic in which some purely military issues may get slightly into politics, and this is tolerated so long as no other rules (i.e., no insults) are broken. Those who have participated in this topic know that our non-US participants often have very different views than you are used to. It won't hurt you to hear another side of the issue and you may learn something. It should also be noted that some of those who post frequently in that topic simply have no idea what they're talking about; be polite in alerting them to this fact.


From time to time, SVC posts news clips from FYEO. These are copyright strategyworld, posted with permission, and are NOT for retransmission or reposting. The files from FYEO are the most accurate and unbiased military news available anywhere.

Participation in this topic requires acceptance of these special topic rules. This topic and similar non-universe topics exist to provide entertainment, information, and a chance for SFU gamers to interact on another level. To that end, flame wars are not tolerated as they defeat the purpose of keeping SFU gamers coming back here. Sometimes, individuals with controversial views or confrontational styles must be excluded from the topic to avoid driving away the very SFU gamers this topic is here to service. Posting in this topic is a privilege, not a right. No one participating in (or asked not to participate in) this topic may "quit the universe" as a result of anything that happens in this topic or the way this topic is run. If you don't accept that, don't post in or read this topic. If you have complaints about how this topic is run or who posts what in it, send them to SVC; posting them here is against the rules.

Hypothetical ethical questions should be discussed in the The Game of Nations topic.

Special note for this topic: Certain subjects come up frequently, despite being unresolvable (wasting bandwidth and raising blood pressure). These subjects are BANNED and will be deleted if posted. The banned list includes: the list of what is banned, decisions about what is deleted, policy of administering the topic, politics, gun control, "Bush lied" (he didn't and that's been proven), media bias (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Washington Post, NY Times, LA times are little more than public relations offices for one party), the origins of the Iraq war, social issues, religion (other than its effect on military matters), gay issues (including gays in the military), legal issues regarding the detainment of terrorist suspects, torture, and abortion/choice. Posts which violate the rules will be deleted and no explanation will be given, here or by email. Any question of "why was it deleted, I just want to understand" will be considered sarcastic and ignored.

NO LINKS ARE TO BE POSTED, nor any reference to them, without being pre-approved by SVC. Approving these will tend to be lower priority than much of his work. If you want to post your own summary, KEEP IT SHORT.

He's got a number of other nations to stop there wars. Including a Peace Treaty between 2 countries who've been fighting for decades.
