My uneducated guess is that, as we progress in this COG scenario, some of the generals might have asked for specific clarifications to be able to carry out their duties.
I don't see much else it could be. I'm very encouraged that the language is talking about going with whatever the guys on the ground decide when it's time sensitive. That's the mark of a good chain of command.
edit- and putting the phrase 'good faith' in there multiple times. this is like watching the sky turn light, waiting for the first glimpse of the sun to come into view on the horizon.
Also makes sense that adding a subjective criteria (like good faith) is only safe when we are sure the bad elements have been purged, and the good guys are given the freedom to use their discretion.
If I wasn't 100% confident that patriots are in control, then I would be very worried about that language since those who want to destroy America would have a different view of "good faith".
I wish I was confident that patriots were in control.
Sounds good but it's like that guy that has to keep asking people if he handsome. When you take an obvious tacitly understood rule and bring it to the front is usually a sign that it's fixing to be violated is my way of thinking.
It's like if I walked up to my wife and said out of the blue, "I will never mess around on you" and she says, what made you say that? Was I tempted with messing around. Had I been weighing that option and all of a sudden came to a decision of which way I would go. Why bring it up at all in other words. ,
Why that particular analogy though? Hmm?
Qeq! ;)
Where that fucking hose meme when I need it?
Giddy-up!
that would make sense in clown world, but this is the heart of the GAW we're looking at here.
